the expenses of the last election race in the usa became a record, exceeding 14 billion dollars and doubled compared to the budgets of the previous battle for the white house. in 2016 , politicians are much more modest. it is noted that

these 14 billion include expenses on the election campaigns of presidential candidates, participants in the fight for seats in the house of representatives and the senate of congress, the national committees of the republican and democratic parties, as well as political action committees that support various candidates. in general, over the past for half a century, the expenses of election campaigns of candidates for the highest office in the usa have grown more than a thousand times, once they started with only two. dollars, well, such huge figures, which really amaze american elections, are due to the fact that in america this is a huge industry, with a large number of political strategists, political scientists, experts, public opinion specialists and party machines of activists involved in it, which are largely fed by these elections, and this is ... a way to keep these

machines in good shape, this is how budgets were inflated over the last half century, the road to the white house has always been made of green bills, but today the expenses are simply gigantic. in the sixties, john kennedy could hardly imagine that his 10 million for the company in the 21st century would be enough for one day. nixon, reagan, clinton's sharp jump, well, then just a galloping growth in campaign expenses. trump and biden in the twentieth, it seems, did not count the losses at all. compare with 1992, then a third runner participated in the race, an independent candidate, billionaire rospere, this was by no means a strong competitor, he seriously influenced the situation. perot, who, unlike previous independent candidates, participated in three-way televised debates, gained 18.9% of the vote, more than any independent since 1912. so, rospublicly announced that he was putting $1 billion on his victory. the law allowed this,

now briefly, how the financial machine works: only the presidential candidate himself can make unlimited contributions to his election fund. there are restrictions regarding other donors. each a us citizen can legally contribute no more than $2,800 to an election campaign. political organizations and political action committees can also contribute funds. these are organizations that unite people based on business, labor, or ideological principles. a candidate can receive up to $5,000 from one such organization. americans know how to confuse the viewer. since 2010, super political action committees have appeared in the country. unlike simple political committees, there are no limits on the amount of funds they can contribute. large sponsors often pour in large sums of money.

the law seems to prohibit transferring money directly to the election headquarters, but there is a loophole here too. no one is stopping you, for example, from organizing a large-scale campaign to support your candidate with this money. that is , it is not the candidates who are competing, but financial magnates and corporations for their right to receive dividends, that is, ordinary voters have little say here, money decides everything. from april to june of this year alone, fundraisers raised $400 million for trump; in 2016, the candidate raised the same amount, but during the entire election campaign. huge sums were received during the active consideration of lawsuits against trump in may-june 2024, for example, in just one day. on may 31 , more than $450,000 was received by funds supporting the former head of the united states. for 200 years , america has had a two-stage election system. first , the electoral college is elected by popular vote, and then it is the electoral college that chooses the head of state. that is, the winner is the one who has collected more votes

from electors, not direct voters. but there is also a two-month and uncontrolled society, early voting, non-admission of observers and a bunch of other nuances of local freedom. the procedure for presidential elections in the united states is significantly different from the procedure in other democratic countries of the world, it is complex and multi-stage, and a victory among ordinary voters does not guarantee the candidate's election as head of state. indeed , the elections are very, well, badly, it's all poorly organized, yes, there are a huge number of loopholes in the law that allow for some kind of falsification to be arranged there the establishment to take over power and not share power with those it does not consider worthy of winning the elections, well, in general, the point is that they are very dirty in the west and we need

to talk about it, of course. a separate feature of american elections is debates, demonstrative conversations in front of the camera sometimes make you laugh , cry, and feel very sad. so, this time, at first everything seems logical, the candidate tells his program, and people think about whether to support him or not, that's what it turned out in fact, if donald trump were president, putin would have captured kiev now, we must understand why nato's european partners are now grateful that he is no longer president, well, let's first tell this one that... and see that she goes to washington, we are wasting time now, let's go, she was so bad, it's terrible,

let's go to washington, let her sign the law that will close the border, trump's phrase about democrats who eat cats even became a viral hit on the internet: judging by social networks, the trump meme hit the top of the trends, harris tried to interrupt him, the politician had important statements, but the scam was left with only earrings that could have been headphones. american journalist johnny king said that during the debate, harris used a special nova h1 earphone disguised as an earring, which is why the politician was constantly taking notes in a notebook, although both are strictly prohibited by the debate rules, however, the moderator of the discussion did not see any reason to stop the debate in the democrat's actions. such debates are obviously a real show, as

indicated by the american accounts. they approach the discussion, which essentially decides the future of their country, like watching a movie. social networks are filled with such photos: popcorn, chips, a party. and we have come to the point that we have two showmen trying, camilla harris and kamala harris and donald trump, trying live on air throughout the country, with commercial breaks, now also paid ones, in which advertising starts at $500,000, here they are throughout the country and calling each other names, inventing some kind of nicknames are indecent, they do not fight, this is not a competition. political strategies and development strategies of the usa are some kind of name-calling and some kind of bullying from two immature teenagers. there is nothing bad in popcorn, but under the crust of corn and chips, presidential candidates are actually trying to decide the fate of the world. the war in ukraine, the conflict

with china, and finally, nuclear weapons. here , the appetite is already gone. however, we are not the first to criticize the culture of american debates. debates today have turned into a farce. an entertainment show of sorts, where you have there is only 1 minute or 90 seconds or 3 minutes, you are physically unable to formulate any idea in such a time. another edition of the washington post announced a debate. a show program in which people who are not responsible for anything speak, although the fact that public beating of each other, a theater of farce, absurdity and madness became clear already in 2016, after the fight between trump and clinton, then the media wrote about a new bar for idiocy. you can talk about it in any words you want, but bill clinton behaved indecently with women, and hillary clinton only criticized these women. how wonderful that the laws of the country are determined by a person who does not have the temperament of donald trump. yes, because in that case you would be in jail. okay, donald, i understand that today you are ready to talk about anything, as long as it does not

concern your company and the fact that more and more republicans refuse to support you. let's see what happens next. there was also the trump-biden debate, but in essence, it was a carbon copy of the meeting between trump and clinton. history will remember them as such a parody. in debates, everything is classic: the masses are sold a wrapper, and what is in it, the essence is not important, the main thing is to put a tick where it is necessary, well, and earn some money. advertising during the break between rounds is one of the most expensive in the world. 120 thousand dollars for 30 seconds. real american presidential elections are held among bankers, industrialists, military and intelligence tycoons, as well as the mafia. you have not forgotten about don coroleone , so you should not pretend that his heirs have disappeared somewhere, they are not in the casino, in the negotiation rooms. can you imagine that

lockheed, general motors or chase mangheten bank will nervously bite their nails , fascinated, watching where the bone ball will fall. these corporations do not like chance and love to plan, they will buy a croupier, and a table, the whole casino, just to implement their plans. as they say, everyone understands everything, but they continue to pour grist on the mill of political america, but for how long? enough of the americans, especially since the mood in society, to put it mildly, is so-so, as evidenced by a survey by cbs and the company yu. only 6% yankees think everything is fine in the us. the vast majority of americans think the situation in the country is bad. 34% of respondents said that things are going very badly in the country. 32% assessed the situation as bad, only 6% think that everything is fine in the us. americans are extremely dissatisfied with the state of the economy, as bad and rather. bad, it was assessed by 59% of residents. surprisingly, exactly the same number, says another study by the

medium portal. they are tired of the election race and want calm elections. but we all know that the show must go on. such are the traditions of the circus and local customs. i hope this will be clear. happy. we follow the sports life of our country. polovtsian igor bokiy opened the account of belarusian medals at the seventeenth summer paralympic games. we approached this world championship very well, considering that we have a young team, it has pulled itself together this year. we review the most interesting events. a coward does not play hockey to say for sure that a coward does not participate in the bison race, to get out. physical endurance, a sharp mind and nerves of steel are needed, this time the strong became the place

attraction of extreme running fans. victoria zadenko and arina sabalenka continue their journey through the us open tournament grid. both tennis players reached the 1/16 finals on the night from wednesday to thursday. we listen to the opinion of competent experts. our level remains high, and if we continue to prepare in the same way. after the collapse of the soviet union, so this publication clearly, on a documentary basis, refutes many of these

attempts to distort the falsification of our historical past of this period. consider your trip to hollywood always as any other studio, for me their mentality their existence has never been an example of such a space where i would definitely want to work. we have practically all the places in the hotel bought out by the end of the year. the project say don't be silent, don't miss new episodes on the belarus 24 tv channel. we will prove that belarusian cuisine is not only potato pancakes. then they made these flatbreads and swept them with the main branches under the oven, on this clean one they put these potato pancakes right on it,

baked them on one side and served them with cracklings, what a surprisingly versatile belarusian cuisine, here. without an egg - it's a torkolanka, with an egg - it's already a babka, babka, we'll learn more about the historical past of belarusians, when kazhan-gorodok went to bonnie from fordza, she decided to make a real european city out of it, she arranged a regular layout, what does this mean, the central square, five streets running off it, we'll show what people eat in different parts of our country. what's the most popular dish that people order for breakfast, it's belgian. waffles, well, belgian ones would also be in brackets bobruisk wafers, as we miners say, then a pie with jam has not eaten, that one has not been to the quarries, watch the project food at least where on the tv channel belarus 24.
