That’s politics, this shouldn’t be a surprise. None of this is remotely illegal as suggested in the comments.
People are saying it should be illegal and the fact that it is legal is an issue that we should fix…
What exactly should be illegal about a politician promising policy changes, that positively affects individuals and those individuals showing their support for that politicians policy? I don’t think many of you have thought this through.
The part where it’s 45 million a month in exchange for “policy” that could make the company 100s of millions of dollars…
But in general, that any billionaire can just pay for the government they want.
“Endorsement” meaning the
2545 million a month to a PAC…How the fuck are we not going after them for this?
The PAC system is incredibly fucked, but outside of a handful of progressives no politicians want to admit it’s legal bribery
maybe this is the straw that breaks the camels back. hoping this admission changes things
It won’t.
Biden inherited the HVF, and called it the BVF but it did the same thing.
A big part of the discussion of Kamala taking over, was if she got the BVF.
I don’t know what she’s calling it now, but she has it.
It’s the thing Hillary did that took all the money from state parties, that coordinated with the DNC during the primary. Giant shit show.
