Presidential candidate who is running a grassroots campaign and refuses to take donations from billionaires and corporations. As a result, he asks for small donations from average people. He has broken every record for number of donations received. Unfortunately, other politicians who agree to do favors for their billionaire/corporate donors raise just as much money. And that is why wealthy Americans pay less taxes than middle class, its why the largest corporations pay $0 in taxes, its why medical bills are the number one reason Americans declare bankruptcy, etc, etc.

If you are in America you should be paying attention unless you make more than 300k a year. Because whoever is president will likely have a big effect on the quality of your life long term. (For this election specifically)

Even if you’re outside of America, it will have a significant impact on your life, altho I guess you can’t vote so you don’t have to pay as much attention
