    Biden is running his campaign, not the DNC.

    You don’t know about the Biden Victory Fund?

    The Biden campaign, the Democratic National Committee and other affiliated fundraising committees had $130 million in the bank at the end of the month, according to the Biden campaign, which says January was its best grassroots fundraising month since the start of the campaign.

    "January’s fundraising haul — driven by a powerhouse grassroots fundraising program that continues to grow month by month — is an indisputable show of strength to start the election year,” campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez said in a statement. “While Team Biden-Harris continues to build on its fundraising machine, Republicans are divided — either spending money fighting Donald Trump, or spending money in support of Donald Trump’s extreme and losing agenda.”

    They’ve been counting DNC money as Biden’s for months…

    And while that says “grass roots” every American can give up to a million a year to it.

    They’re coordinating that way to get around donation limits.

    And the head of the DNC is Jamie Harrison, the guy Biden picked…

    That’s not a deep cut either. I thought everyone at least knew who he was…

    Maybe that’s why not enough people are pissed off? They just don’t know all the fucked up shit Biden and the DNC are doing?

      They will use some of the money for the Biden campaign. So what?

      They’re coordinating that way to get around donation limits.

      It’s part of a larger general problem that organizations (such as corporations) can contribute to campaigns, and every time that happens it gets around individual donation limits. And even worse than that is PAC spending. It is hardly a problem specific to the DNC.

      Maybe that’s why not enough people are pissed off?

      What is there to be “pissed off” about? It’s worked that way for 100 years…

      And the head of the DNC is Jamie Harrison, the guy Biden picked…

      And the head of the RNC is Lara Trump who is using their funds to pay Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump’s LEGAL BILLS.

          Are you mad at the DNC and Biden?

          I would say I’m “mad” no.

          [“There is no comparison,” DNC spokesman Alex Floyd said. “The DNC does not spend a single penny of grassroots donors’ money on legal bills, unlike Donald Trump, who actively solicits legal fees from his supporters and has drawn down every bank account he can get his hands on like a personal piggy bank.”]

          You think a party shouldn’t pay the candidates legal bills?

          No I don’t. But even in the case of Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump, I kind of like that his legal expenses are harming his supporters more then helping Treason Trump. So I’m not even sure if I’m mad about that.

            Oh wow

            I didn’t know a DNC spokesperson said it was OK the DNC is paying Biden’s legal bills…

            Like, did you even notice the “no grass roots” part?

            The Biden Victory Fund can take a million a year from a person. biden has practically zero “grassroots donors”.

            The only people giving him money are the wealthiest, they’re the only ones getting anything back for their money

              F*cking Bullshit. 90% of Biden’s donors give less than $200. I am planning to give Biden money. I’m not the “wealthiest”. And what I plan to get back for my money is the continuation of democracy.

              Like, did you even notice the “no grass roots” part?

              Like, did you even notice that you just made up some bullshit? 90% of Biden’s donors give less than $200.

                90% of Biden’s donors give less than $200.

                And the vast majority of his money comes through BVF which can take up to a million a year from each person…

                Like I already blocked you before replying this time because it’s been three days and you won’t stop , but you have such a massive misunderstanding of how numbers work if you think what you just said is in any way relevant I had to say it:

                Most of his money coming from whales and most of his donors not giving much are not mutually exclusive

                Like, this isn’t even about politics, that’s basic story word problems you should have been doing before Algebra even got taught.

                Youre missing fundamental understanding of math and it’s likely effecting your life.

                It’s never to late to start learning, but if you act like this someone is going to charge you a lot of money to put up with you

                But just in general, if you’re throwing out percentages like that, you should be linking the source or everyone is going to believe the “90%” number is something you pulled out of your ass.

                It’s just that whether or not that was true. Doesn’t fucking change anything we’re talking about.
