The bottom graphs look dem favoured until you look at the numbers…

Would be nice if we could see the top donors together but with red and blue bars
abramthrust on
usually we equate fundraising success with election odds.
so with that in mind… not a good look for the Dems
edit the partisan responses & downvotes are also not a great look, I’m not even from your country lol.

Why don’t the top 10 donors line up with the top by party? E.g. Andreesen and Horowitz donated 25M+ each but don’t show up by party. Uhlein donated 23.9M in total but more than that to republicans
Also would be interesting to see total donations by party and by geography

To whom did Marc donate? I cannot find him either Demo or Rep spenders. Are there other alternatives?

It’s funny with how cheap dems are to be bought you would think this shit would have happened earlier

Republicans can spend what they want, they have a deep hole to climb out of with this Iran war. These gas prices are about to start hurting wallets badly, and people vote with their wallets.

This is so insane, here in Québec political donations are capped at $200 CAD per person, per party, and we have a bit of a reputation for our politicians being corrupt. This is corruption on an absolutely stupefying scale.

This is not beautiful. Don’t use the same color to mean different things, there’s plenty of other colors you can make “Tech” besides blue. And don’t use different scales for the democrat and republican donor graphs.
To be honest, I’d rather just have a graph with the top 10-20 donors labeled by who they donated to graph rather than these 3, as that would make it way easier to visually compare. I’d also prefer company names to industry labels, as people probably know what industry major companies are in, but they are less likely to know who owns what company.

You should really align the axis on the Dems and Republicans

I would certainly say Anna Brockman is tech. Her husband is the co-founder of OpenAI. [He explains here](https://x.com/gdb/status/2006512808104702370) why they started to make donations to pro-AI candidates

This + the Primary system + the Electoral College + FPTP voting
All the ingredients for a carrot cake

Greg Brockman is president of OpenAI (ChatGPT). Anna is his wife. So these two have given ~$50m combined so far.
In case you’re wondering, Sam Altman is CEO.

Musk has enough money to just buy any election he wants if he was smart

Would be nice to see this include the PACs and who is behind them.

As long as Musk is donating to the party that is actively destroying our democracy, lots of people, including me, are going to be buying EVs that aren’t Teslas.

Is this still BEAUTIFUL day at or just interesting data? I am cool with either, just curious.

Imagine all the good you could do with 73 million dollars instead of this

This is rubbish, it doesn’t show how much the dems and GOP received in scale.

How long has it been like this with the republicans having this much more money?

Wow, data is ugly I guess

The data may be beautiful, but the presentation is a bit shit. And misleading.
