I know it must be expensive traveling around to states and paying staff, but with social media and the internet as a whole, the general public doesn’t need to see the candidates to know their policies. So unless it’s just for favorable policy down the line, why do they donate so much? Are there other expenses besides logistics, pr, and payroll?

Congress makes laws. Big Companies make money. If Big companies have no laws affecting them they get to do whatever makes them the most money.
People have needs and want to be safe, healthy and secure. If people ask congress for these things and Big companies stay out of it eventually congress will have to give them these things. These things directly conflict with company trying to make the most money. Taxes cost companies money. Laws for fair wages and anti-slavery cost companies money. Safety regulations both for the consumer and the workers cost the company money. Trade regulations cost them money etc and so on. Now if congress doesn’t pass some laws people catch on that they aren’t doing anything and pick new congress people. So instead it’s better for company to make friend with congress people so they can help write the laws and minimize the damage
