Is money the real winner of every election?
The standing best case for and against — a leaderboard of arguments, not a ruling on the question.
“They have crucially conceded that campaign funding is the most predictable way to win an election.”
The line that won it · highlighted from the winning round
This is the massive point where my opponent loses- they say quote " I am not sure how to prove it, though", however emprics support my side better. They have crucially conceded that campaign funding is the most predictable way to win an election. They say voters have some say- this is misresponsive, voters obviously have say but campaigning is the most critical factor within this say and is always the deciding factor writ large. Sure, some voters may not be swayed, but because elections are across multiply people we know reliably the candidate that puts in the most money is the most likely to win.
