The policy goals of the 0.01% are basically in lock step, why would they bid against each other?

But in fact both The Democrats and the Republicans raise money.

    It's not uncommon for a donor to support both candidates because whoever wins will have a debt. Like you said this is peanuts to them.

    The other factor is non-monetary support. A $1 billion check to a candidate's campaign fund has a lot of red tape. It isn't as effecient as a $100 million donation and $900 million spent blasting propaganda across your personal media empire.
