    They’ve been counting DNC money as Biden’s for months…

    They will use some of the money for the Biden campaign. So what?

    They’re coordinating that way to get around donation limits.

    It’s part of a larger general problem that organizations (such as corporations) can contribute to campaigns, and every time that happens it gets around individual donation limits. And even worse than that is PAC spending. It is hardly a problem specific to the DNC.

    Maybe that’s why not enough people are pissed off?

    What is there to be “pissed off” about? It’s worked that way for 100 years…

    And the head of the DNC is Jamie Harrison, the guy Biden picked…

    And the head of the RNC is Lara Trump who is using their funds to pay Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump’s LEGAL BILLS.

      You think a party shouldn’t pay the candidates legal bills?

      I’m not saying you shouldn’t be mad, you should.

      But you should be mad regardless of the letter by someone’s name.

      Are you mad at the DNC and Biden?

        Are you mad at the DNC and Biden?

        I would say I’m “mad” no.

        [“There is no comparison,” DNC spokesman Alex Floyd said. “The DNC does not spend a single penny of grassroots donors’ money on legal bills, unlike Donald Trump, who actively solicits legal fees from his supporters and has drawn down every bank account he can get his hands on like a personal piggy bank.”]

        You think a party shouldn’t pay the candidates legal bills?

        No I don’t. But even in the case of Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump, I kind of like that his legal expenses are harming his supporters more then helping Treason Trump. So I’m not even sure if I’m mad about that.

          Oh wow

          I didn’t know a DNC spokesperson said it was OK the DNC is paying Biden’s legal bills…

          Like, did you even notice the “no grass roots” part?

          The Biden Victory Fund can take a million a year from a person. biden has practically zero “grassroots donors”.

          The only people giving him money are the wealthiest, they’re the only ones getting anything back for their money

            F*cking Bullshit. 90% of Biden’s donors give less than $200. I am planning to give Biden money. I’m not the “wealthiest”. And what I plan to get back for my money is the continuation of democracy.

            Like, did you even notice the “no grass roots” part?

            Like, did you even notice that you just made up some bullshit? 90% of Biden’s donors give less than $200.

              90% of Biden’s donors give less than $200.

              And the vast majority of his money comes through BVF which can take up to a million a year from each person…

              Like I already blocked you before replying this time because it’s been three days and you won’t stop , but you have such a massive misunderstanding of how numbers work if you think what you just said is in any way relevant I had to say it:

              Most of his money coming from whales and most of his donors not giving much are not mutually exclusive

              Like, this isn’t even about politics, that’s basic story word problems you should have been doing before Algebra even got taught.

              Youre missing fundamental understanding of math and it’s likely effecting your life.

              It’s never to late to start learning, but if you act like this someone is going to charge you a lot of money to put up with you

              But just in general, if you’re throwing out percentages like that, you should be linking the source or everyone is going to believe the “90%” number is something you pulled out of your ass.

              It’s just that whether or not that was true. Doesn’t fucking change anything we’re talking about.
