This seems like dejavu, all over again. :)
Once, again....
Donors own candidates.
Candidates don’t own donors.
Private RE investors don’t own developers, nor do developers own private investors.
I cannot simplify this any more, for you.
Have a good day, cbw.
“...Donors own candidates...”
False. Donors do not own candidates. However, they *do* donate to a candidate that they support in the hopes the candidate will win because they prefer the candidate’s policies and positions.
-However-
Billionaires bribe politicians and mobsters illegally.
(See! I can make up stuff too!)
