"The game is rigged in favor of the rich but we're okay with that when they are giving to democrats"

The game is rigged in favor of the rich. The game tends to work out better for most Americans when Democrats are in charge of the government, and worse when Republicans are in charge. And that's a trend we've seen with pretty much every administration for the past thirty years.
That's why you voted for Obama, Hillary, and Biden.
"You don't see anything wrong with a billionaire writing checks like that. It's all about who they give them to."
Wrong, and right.
It can be, and is, wrong that we let billionaires write checks for political campaigns.
But not all billionaires writing checks are making America worse.
And if we're going to have billionaires writing checks, then we're going to have billionaires writing checks whether you like it or not.
Even if you don't think we should have billionaires writing checks, you're still going to need to get billionaires to write checks to participate in the billionaires-writing-checks form of government we have evolved into, thanks to Citizens United.
What you need to do is find billionaires to right the good kind of checks, to offset the bad ones.
Any fourth grader playing Monopoly could figure this out, not sure why you think it's such a flex on the Democrats that they're forced to do the thing Republicans forced them to do.
