Trump campaign pours millions into ad blitz targeting Biden

Click HERE

Two downsides to democracy can be seen here:
-excessive amounts of money poured into campaigns which could be otherwise put to better use
-mudslinging of opponents, which can involve cahracter assassination, fabrication of untruths to discredit opponents, or resulting in even the kind of gutter politics we see in Malaysia where sex videos of Azmin in bed with a guy went circulating, and of course, the infamous allegations of sodomy againt opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim.....

 This month alone, the Trump campaign has spent or reserved about US$7 million (S$10 million) on television airtime in local markets

The campaign's ads on Facebook have taken their own dark turn. Videos on the platform declare "Geriatric Health is No Laughing Matter" or "Joe Biden: Old and Out of It", then use selective edits of Mr Biden's verbal stumbles and meandering soliloquies to make less-than-subtle suggestions about his mental acuity.

Qn: Consider the view that efficient government is more important than democracy. (Cam. 2011)
