$1.5 billion

Could have fed and housed so many people with that money

Instead, she ate shit

pain

$20 billion

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) estimates that it would cost $20 billion to end homelessness.

You can easily get the rest from just pulling from the military or even better seizing the obscene wealth of the billionaire class and fix this overnight but noooooooooo billion dollar vanity projects.

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 43 points 4 days ago

At least my billion dollar vanity project, building Castle Von ThunderCastle, would provide countless jobs and a place to live for all those willing to join my ruthless terrorist organization

first put every real estate developer and landlord into a camp or they will ~~start~~ increase arming domestic paramilitary death squads

[-] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 33 points 4 days ago

Even ending homelessness for 1/20 people who are homeless would've been objectively better as a campaign strategy too

[-] glimmer_twin@hexbear.net 17 points 4 days ago

Nah it wouldn’t, like 95% of Americans give 0 fucks about the homeless

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 20 points 4 days ago

Off-topic, but that number is one of the things that made/makes me absolutely hate the billionaires in this world. People like Bezos, Buffett, or Musk could end homelessness or world hunger tomorrow while not even really noticing the hit to their wealth, but they all choose instead to spend it on destroying the planet instead.

[-] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 15 points 4 days ago

Homelessness and world hunger is the source of their power, they use it as leverage to force other people to enact their will. Ending hunger will diminish their power, and so they will never do it.

Trump gets 500 million, keeps half of it personally and wins the election.

Kamala gets three times that much, loses, and didn't even make her self unbelievably rich in the process.

Who's really the dumb one.

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 61 points 4 days ago

You could legit solve homelessness instead of flushing that down the drain to a bunch of ad companies

[-] Utter_Karate@hexbear.net 39 points 4 days ago

And probably earn more votes. A lot more votes. No campaigning or anything, just funneling all the campaign funds into something that actually helps people. Social media would have done all the work. Sooner or later someone will remember the "bread" part of "bread and circuses" and they will rule completely unchecked. It will probably be terrible.

[-] Piment@hexbear.net 18 points 4 days ago

I feel like we're so far past bread it would be viewed on an equal level as Elon giving a million to a random person for voting, a candidate that used their campaign funds to help people would probably get investigated and somehow disqualified from running.

[-] Utter_Karate@hexbear.net 17 points 4 days ago

No, I think we will see it in our lifetimes. Not in any actually benevolent way, just a brief respite from the worst this world has to offer in exchange for the power to to literally anything.

[-] supafuzz@hexbear.net 71 points 4 days ago

huh it's almost like this was the scam all along and winning was at best secondary

[-] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 65 points 4 days ago

what, they don't have any math magicians at the NYT.

you spend 1.5 billion in 15 weeks by spending 100 million every week for 15 weeks.

I'm assuming they did something even less intelligent or beneficial than buying every American with a car a gallon of gasoline and a warm can of Pepsi.

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 42 points 4 days ago

$5 to every American no questions asked and we actually fucling give it to you this time would unironically have been a better use of funds.

[-] Lussy@hexbear.net 33 points 4 days ago

1.5 k to 1 million in key swing states, instead of paying hollywood turds, would have actually done something lol

[-] FloridaBoi@hexbear.net 41 points 4 days ago

I would’ve settled for a large bag of Cheetos

[-] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 43 points 4 days ago

instead he's in the got dang white house!

[-] FloridaBoi@hexbear.net 28 points 4 days ago

so I guess I got what I wanted

[-] ihaveibs@hexbear.net 49 points 4 days ago

That is a comfortable lifetime's worth of money for thousands of people. Fucking gross

[-] Real_User@hexbear.net 48 points 4 days ago

Fwiw it probably did become a lifetime worth of money for a few thousand consultants

[-] JustSo@hexbear.net 58 points 4 days ago

I read earlier they actually finished up $20mil in debt lmao.

[-] AmericaDelendaEst@hexbear.net 20 points 4 days ago

"Woops i accidentally over drafted the account by 20 million dollars"

[-] REEEEvolution@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 4 days ago

Whomst among us...

[-] sourquincelog@hexbear.net 15 points 4 days ago

Also known as ONE DAY worth of spending lmao

[-] stink@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 4 days ago

In that same article some DNC spokesperson was like "we are separate from her campaign and we're very healthy financially now!"

So much proof they don't care about the election as much as their funding.

Also apparently her campaign is still getting donations... imagine the libs donating to her still.

[-] FnordPrefect@hexbear.net 36 points 4 days ago

the-democrat 🎶 Springtime for MAGA and 'Murica! Winter for Gaza and Chad 🎶

PS I don't really know what's going on in Chad, it was just the single syllable country having the hardest time. I'll remove if I posted something offensive

[-] Babs@hexbear.net 23 points 4 days ago

Chad is in the tropics, I don't think they have winters there.

[-] Parsani@hexbear.net 25 points 4 days ago

So much spent on celebrity appearances too

[-] stink@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 4 days ago
[-] atyaz@hexbear.net 6 points 4 days ago

Who could she possibly be convincing by bringing in Oprah? The wine moms are already voting for her.

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 27 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

she has pressed for more cash since the election

They're just doing the E1 episode

[-] RNAi@hexbear.net 30 points 4 days ago
[-] MayoPete@hexbear.net 23 points 4 days ago

The Cheneys too while you're at it... wait

[-] MarxOverflow@lemmygrad.ml 23 points 4 days ago

Well there were 2 assassination attempts on Trump after she gained the nomination so...

[-] REEEEvolution@lemmygrad.ml 20 points 4 days ago

Her faildayn were hard at work.

[-] notthenameiwant@hexbear.net 18 points 4 days ago

Twice the 2008 Obama campaign for reference.
