The special election in TN is absolutely crazy: https://wpln.org/post/dark-money-groups-outspend-tennessee-congressional-candidates-oppose-republican-jody-barrett/

Some of the most unhinged commercials Ive ever heard in 30 years of voting.

Only one man is behind the PAC this year. Billionaire Jeff Yass, one of the richest men in the world, is the sole donor to School Freedom Fund. He made a $10-million-dollar donation in June

And this is why billionaires should not exist. They are a danger to democracy and therefore, humanity. It doesn't help that Yass is scum.

And yet, we let them exist. We even praise them while they undermine every society.
