If I have to see Walz or Obama one more time saying they “need” my donation I am gonna lose it.
NO YOU DON’T! THAT’S WHAT YOUR DONORS ARE FOR!
Fucking thieves and charlatans.
Bernie’s lasting legacy: massively increasing the fleecing of suckers for small political donations. the Chris Roberts of politics
That really pissed me off. Imagine if they used those ads for agitation and education for basic socialist concepts. What a waste of a campaign
Right? How much is Barry even worth, now? Why doesn’t Nancy throw down 100m for the most important election of our lives? Fuck them.
Why would I give them money? I could buy weed with that money…
The lib part of my brain had an idea. What if you could set up campaign donation funds that only get relesed to the candidate for certain policy promises ( i mean they can just break them). Im imagining crowdfunding some sort of “stop the genocide” campaign fund that grows as people donate and is only donated once the candidate vocally supports x policies, or say 'condemn the genocide using the word ‘genocide’. If candidate doesnt do the thing everyones money gets refunded.
Isn’t that basically just a PAC with a refund option if it doesn’t pay a candidate? Could be good if you could get enough participation.
under current conditions, whatever person or committee has the power to make the call on compliance (did politician fulfill promise?) would probably get bought off
having strong flashbacks to the cynical bad faith “fact-checkers” at WaPo during the 2020 primary
