Gosh. Corporations, Lobbyists, Billionares, wealthy donors. Interestingly enough, they overwhelmingly donate to the Democratic Party.

Based on what? Both parties are beholden to special interests. Stop being a partisan hack by pretending that only one of them is.

I said overwhelmingly. Not all.

But your point is still effectively the same, and your point is still effectively wrong.

In the 2018 midterms, corporations leaned GOP in their donations. That's no where NEAR "overwhelming."

So you agree that both parties are beholden to special interests?

Where yes, you pointed out that corporations donated mostly to the GOP, but the others donate mostly Democrat. Right?

But your original claim was that all corporations, lobbyists, billionaires, etc. across the board support the democrats overwhelmingly. What the data shows is that very specific corporations lean democrat, but as a whole, corporations lean GOP. The data does not support your original claim.

Rundown.

1. Corporations as a whole mostly donate to the GOP.

2. My claim was mostly inaccurate.

3. Billionares, lobbyists, and wealthy donors usually donate democrat. But not all.

Point 1 and 3 are incompatible and antithetical to each other. How can corporations simultaneously donate to the GOP as a whole and also usually donate democrat?

I'm actually younger than you so I don't know too much about economics either, but data is stronger than anecdotes. You have to understand that both parties are bought by corporations.

I mostly see billionaires give to the democratic party. I'm 16, so I don't know a lot about economics.
