    Right, the PAC thing then gets brought to the SCOTUS, and do we wanna risk that?

    If George Clooney gets a few billionare buddies to chip in 50M a head to put someone to the front it could work financially, but then who are we even getting?

    The situation is dire. I don’t know that there’s a clear solution. All I know is how I’ll vote regardless.

      I’m unclear why you think the PAC thing would go to scotus. That’s a routine thing. Like who would be sueing exactly, for what reason, and with what standing?

      The money could be donated to a PAC or a political party, so it could also all be given to the DNC. It just can’t be used for personal use. It could get a little thorny if someone besides Harris was picked though and Harris didn’t want the money to go to help democrats for some reason, but that seems unlikely.

      And yes I’m voting for whatever Democrat is on the ballet, I just want whatever gives the best chance of keeping Trump out and helping down ballot democrats in congress who will be needed for any chance of enacting any major changes.
