“Hey look how bad these people are”
While completely ignoring the other sides much much much worse implementation of the same stuff
This user posts news about both sides. We can and should pay attention to wrongdoing on both sides of the aisle. Establishment Dems must be replaced if we want to stop the GOP neo-nazis, because otherwise we’ll keep seeing “Democrats” like Fetterman, Schumer, Collins, Sinema, and Jeffries hamstring us the whole way.
Cm reposts things from .ml, which isn’t quite the same thing as “both sides of the aisle”
Here’s why
In breaking down the expenditures for the leading clearinghouses of spam fundraising appeals, Bonica found that out of some $670 million in donations, just $11 million wound up in the coffers of campaigns, national party committees, and individual candidates. The other $659 million stayed with the fundraising groups themselves. That works out, Bonica wrote, to “a fundraising efficiency rate of just 1.6 percent.”
That’s the case with most fundraising efforts, for cancer research, schools, etc. Nearly all of it goes to the fundraising mechanism, especially salaries.
I own a business, and I get asked to do fundraisers all the time. Of course, they want me to do it for free, “for the exposure” because “people with money” will be there. When I was new, I did few, and got nothing but requests to do more free fundraisers. Now I flat out tell them “No, I’m what you spend your money on to attract more money.” If they don’t like it, I don’t care. Why should I worry about losing a free gig, or chasing off someone who demands I work for free?
Fundraising is a scam.
Astounding. I had low expectations but they managed to surprise me anyway. Really hope we can clear out the rest of the establishment DNC and cultivate an actual(!) alternative to fascism
I knew it’d be horrible but it’s way worse than I expected, too. No wonder they keep losing elections, the people in charge aren’t even pretending to be in the business of getting their canidates elected!
