First time reader here. This is phenomenal work, albeit infuriating and nauseating as well. This data explains everything for those who still don't understand how wholly broken and corrupted the system is. Unfortunately, the biggest hurdle is figuring out how to get regular American citizens to overcome their years (or lifetimes) of tribalistic, propaganda and Christian nationalist fueled indoctrination, and then finding a way to expose them to these revelations in a way they will consume and understand.
Ultimately, while these abhorrent billionaires, PACs, and the corrupt hacks who they've bought are absolutely a problem, the biggest problem is and has always been, the immense ignorance, gullibility, and celebrated stupidity of the American voting populace. All the dirty billionaire money in the world won't do anything, if the American voters are smart enough not to vote for the corrupt candidates that dirty money is buying.
What we all desperately need to do is figure out how to take this data, condense it down into even smaller pieces, and most importantly, find a way to get a majority of our fellow voters to consume, comprehend, and absorb the appalling truths that it reveals.
I genuinely applaud your work and efforts investigating, compiling, and exposing this data! I will definitely he following your work from now on and I hope to be able to help support you in the near future!

I'll keep talking about it until I'm completely blue in the face.
