  From a european point of view, donating to a political campaign is nothing we would even consider. Additionally, we are not even allowed to donate if we wanted.

  This makes this whole post relevant to less than 5% of the world’s population.

      If I read this article correctly, then all of euope donates about €150 million per year to policical parties.

      Kamala received $ 300 million only in july.

        I don’t disagree.

        Most political parties rely heavily on state subsidies, but not in Germany where they get hundreds of millions of euros from private individuals and companies.
