This is not meant as an insult, really. You genuinely don&#x27;t understand how politics works at all.<p>It&#x27;s not just some idiot talking crap about something you&#x27;re working on. This isn&#x27;t a college project. It&#x27;s someone putting your entire past, present, and future on television and the radio making false claims about you. It&#x27;s someone making your personal information known publicly so you can receive threats. If you don&#x27;t have the same dollars as the other guy, it&#x27;s someone controlling the public narrative to paint you as Satan himself.<p>It&#x27;s so much more in depth than taking valid criticism. YOU don&#x27;t have to pay attention to them, as the person fronting the bill. But the 300,000,000 other people in the US will.<p>And then, right or wrong, good or bad, you lose. Again, not an insult, but yours is an unbelievably naive view of how politics works.
