Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

There really should be a cap of like $500
There should, but even the people running the Dem party dont agree.
The Biden Victory Fund can now take almost a million a year from each citizen. It's not quite a PAC, because it allows the DNC, Biden, and Biden's campaign staff to coordinate.
Along with some other shady shit.
It's an evolution of the Hillary Victory Fund that managed to lose to trump, bankrupt the DNC, lose a lot of "safe seats" down ballot due to no acces to their own donations, and bankrupted multiple state parties.
But what are you going to do? What other options do you have?

This money doesn't stay hidden till the general, even back in 2016 this program was in use during the primary with Hillary's campaign team controlling the flow of money to the DNC and state parties.
And like I said, that group literally just shifted from Hillary to Biden and been running the same grift.
The people running that controls all the money, and they decide who runs as a Dem.
Ignoring the problem won't fix it. And unless we fix it, were never gonna get a candidate that represents Dem voters
There is no hope except a swift death for humanity. It’s the end of the (human) world.
