      Add it to the pile. Everything MAGA has “cancelled” so far.

        Cool, 0.15% of his net worth. That’s like someone who makes $100k donating $150.

            I make $200k and only donated $100, so I’m technically worse.

            I’ve donated to Bernie and somehow that has put me on every Dem’s begging list. I still get emails years later despite unsubscribing from fresh garbage every week. I will never give anyone another penny unless I am able to have some sort of guarantee they will fuck off after they get the money.

              Did you donate more than .15% of your net worth? Does that make you a better party memeber?

                .15% of an average person’s income is way different than .15% of a billionaire’s income. An average person will feel the loss of ~$100 more than a billionaire will feel the loss of their equivalent. Billionaires should not exist.

                That said, I donated $100 so very close to, yeah. I can donate an extra $50 if that gets you to vote blue.

                  No one’s arguing that billionaires shouldn’t exist but you’re just bitching that someone didn’t contribute more money.

                  Also, I am voting Democrat down ticket. You’re assuming way too much about my politics based on a small exchange.

      What we want is money out of politics. That’s the goal. But since that isn’t currently the situation, then until that happens it’s good for the non-fascist to get donations.

        Additionally, if the point was to create a comparison to Elon, I would say it’s not a strong comparison. They are both rich and can give a lot of money to presidential campaigns. Elon musk is doing this while he greatly altered the election integrity team on his social media platform, and is using the social media platforms tools to make it harder for people to follow one of the candidates that he doesn’t like.

      It seems you are ruining democracy by existing. I’m sorry your parents failed to raise a decent and intelligent person. What a waste.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
