I took this screenshot myself from the government release page.

Indeed, instead they pretended he wasn't running in four years, and when they did run against him, it was to court Republican voters (the majority of her campaign).
This was in spite of the well-known mathematical fact that an Independent issue must be campaigned on to win an election. Instead, they were "hoping" (officially) Rs would change their mind.
Can't argue with the money they made to do this though, a billion dollars is a new record, especially when she just had a few months. It took Trump FOUR YEARS to raise 900 million or so, she did it in about four months. Amazing, unheard amounts of Super-PAC money made this happen, she did what she was paid to do.
This is all public information, they don't even bother to hide it any longer, it's now LEGAL (because as you know, corporations are people and money is free speech).
I have been an Unafilliated Independent since the day I first registered to vote in 1977. The Independent voting base is larger than either the Democratic or MAGA voting base. Literally EVERY single national political race in America is decided by the Independent voter.
Neither side can count on my vote. They have to earn it, every time.
I have also been Independent for many years; the Ds and Rs still act like they are the majority for some reason. I guess they never bother to check such things (or much of anything else).
The fact that you would ever even consider a Republican isn't comforting in the least. They haven't taken a sudden turn for the worse, they've been the party of gutting social programs to give tax cuts to the rich for over 40 years now.
Who said I would consider a Republican? I haven't considered a Republican in over 30 years, and I would never vote for a MAGA. MAGA should be purged from government, abolished, and prohibited.
But not voting Republican doesn't make me a Democrat. They are insufferably weak and cowardly, and hold 50% of the responsibility for the rise, and re-rise of MAGA.
I refuse to be a member of either corrupt club.
