Oops we hid the button to deny all non essential cookies behind 3 option screens and separated them into check boxes. Just in case you're ok with a little exploitation.

The rules are poorly written and even more poorly enforced.

Coordinate with a candidate before they announce their candidacy?

Pass

Coordinate with an individual who is then hired as an advisor to the candidate?

Pass

Coordinate with the children / spouse of an incumbent candidate?

Pass

Coordinate with the candidate themselves through means that prevent detection?

Pass

Coordinate with a candidate explicitly in broad daylight while making no attempt to hide it and leave a paper trail, electronic records, notarized documents, and a plan to do so again in the future and market your services doing so to other candidates?

Candidate elected; you are at a sub 1% chance to be charged with a misdemeanor if investigated by the DoJ because the FEC can't be arsed

Idk my father got a set of titanium chompers, he eats ice as a snack now.

Yes when you cultivate a brainwashed mob of barely literate hateful fools you can manipulate them pretty easily.

Frankly I've abandoned democracy. We aren't responsible enough to keep it and it's grown too onerous to manage. It's a garden that has overgrown our house. I doubt what's coming will be better but hatching is rarely a good thing from the viewpoint of the eggshell.

There isn't a question in your previous comment.

And apparently you haven't heard the one.

You don't wrestle a pig in mud because it gets mud all over you and the pig likes it.

It will only drive up donorship to the Republicans and foster more lenient ~~bribery~~ donation policy from the Democrats going forward.

The Democrats need to actually submit themselves to overhauling campaign funding if they want to make any headway. But they want that money. They want it more than they want any of their alleged policy goals.

Ever hear the one about wrestling a pig in the mud?

Um I guess what's wrong with John Favreau is he has a misguided impression that the point of becoming a politician is to materially improve the lives of your constituents rather than scrounge as many bribes as you can without being imprisoned or assassinated.

Um. Leftists vote at the highest rate of any polity.

There's just not many of us.

The DNCs "standards" weren't impressive to millions of center / center-left voters who voted for Biden.

Probably because they nakedly shilled themselves to anyone with a checkbook. Had no stances, offered no solutions, and came across as wildly out of touch.

Imagine how a tax credit for first time home buyers sounds to someone who can't afford groceries.

They outspent and lost this time.

There sure are a lot of people trying to blame the left because their strategy of appealing to the middle failed.

Good I hope the Pennsylvanians hate it.

Well they certainly won't be receiving any more AIPAC money for 3.5 years.
