I'm far from a Harris fan, but it's a little ****ed up that she and Castro are out while a couple billionaires with no coalition to speak of are still trying to buy their way in.

*edit* Castro is in still apparently, but hasn't qualified for the last few debates.
 
Harris is out of money apparently. Several of the Dems have been having trouble raising enough funds to continue their campaign.

Makes sense. The field needs to narrow. Not too many people are going to donate to multiple campaigns.

that’s what primaries are supposed to do. Or were you expecting 10 people to win the nomination?

Republicans had 16 candidates fighting for their party’s nomination in 2016 and 15/16 ran out of money and/or support. Trump won it.

If you have a choice between buying weed and donating to a Dem's campaign, what are you gonna do? I know what I would do.

Why do you need so called "campaign money" in USA? Assuming your income is little bit more than Al Bundy or Homer Simpson look/behave-alike? Aren't posters and ads in the media enough assuming you are popular and well liked in general? Should for example Bill Gates want do be elected as POTUS - am i correct that according to US law he needs to only announce his wish as an independent candidate at the correct deadline, pay some election related fees and then just wait for results on the election day?

For example, during the European Parliament elections, the only big money was "bail money" which the candidate paid to the election organizers. It was about 20000 EUR which you got back if you were elected to the EU Parliament - Estonia had 6 positions and the amount of candidates was about 100. Of course, USA is bigger and therefore if you use traditional media to promote yourself, the expenses are higher. But do you really need millions?
