  • You are just wrong. A campaign contribution/donation is not a bribe no matter the amount. A campaign contribution only becomes a bribe if there are illegal strings attached which on the dems side there is little to no evidence for.

    The campaign spending is clearly and openly spent on the promoting the candidate to voters. You are lying about campaign money being spent on donor fundraising and you have no evidence to suggest any of the donations came with strings attached. You think because one party acts like one way the other must be doing the same.

    I think you fundamentally misunderstand how the system works and you are thinking in the realm of conspiracy instead of just looking at how things are.


  • A few things because this take is so cynical I think it hurts political engagement overall. A campaign donation is not a bribe. There is nothing wrong with spending money to help your party win in a system where that’s legal.

    Also i might have misunderstood but it seems like you were implying Kamala didn’t spend her campaign money on her campaign. You can find a breakdown of her campaign on open secrets and 80% was spent on advertising and marketing the rest went to admin, salariers etc. You can find a list of expenses to scrutinize them further.

    There is no carry over fund, the fund raising that was done after is due to campaign spending more than the funds and trying to cover the debt.

    The DNCs problem is the right wing propaganda machine. They have the policy that appeals to majority of the voters. They have the politicians that appeal to the majority. They just need to make people realize it.
