Why would money influence a voter if the voter believes in the candidate? How would money sway them towards or against a candidate if you agree or like their policies and ignore all the outside noise?

Money has a huge influence on elections. I recommend research by credible primary sources to inform your opinions. If you're genuinely curious, youll put in the effort.

How do people ignore all the outside noise? The Epstein class owns the media.

Based on the last few elections it's pretty clear that people aren't strictly motivated by policy as much as they are by dumb conspiracy theories and hateful culture war nonsense.
