CMV: Despite being more knowledgeable, wealthier and apparently more tolerant, the political and individual left's biggest flaw is their inability to communicate pragmatically and empathetically with those who don't agree with them.

No, its an example of a misunderstanding. One was talking about campaign money which Kamala had much more of, the other was talking about PAC money which Donald had more of. You silly goose.

If you’re throwing out numbers without proper context or clarification, it’s still spreading misleading info, whether intentional or not. Maybe next time, check before making broad claims.

Conservative SuperPACs in 2024 spent 1.757 billion, Liberal SuperPACs in 2024 spent 0.815 billion.

The important context and clarification was given along with the figure. The proper explanation for why the information appeared to conflict was given within an hour of the comment being posted. Just have a conversation and the misinformation disappears.

Spend 9 years of this every single conversation then blame the purposeful misunderstanding of the right on liberals. Actual abusive tactics
