unless it's the angle he's working, he could literally fucking retire with the amount of money he could skim from this

like how you diagnose the symptom without ever considering the material base the symptom comes from is wild

Show @charlesgaba@mastodon.social toots: Again, NOT ONE DIME of the $9.87M I've raised this cycle (actually about to break $10M) goes to me, but if you'd like to support my work separately as well, you can do so here: (i ain't captioning the link lmao don't give this clown money)

oh it's 1000% a grift, like 75% of that 10 million dollars is 'unknown/direct' donations to Kamala? and you're not taking any of that!? what a fucking rube

    Okay seriously is that really allowed? Can I just make a Go Fund Me or Patreon account for the Dems, then gobble up donations, keep 60% for myself, and donate only 40% to whatever candidate?

    I'm pretty sure this is campaign fraud or some shit but Citizens United is such a clusterfuck I have no clue.

      "Administrative costs", though technically you'd still be canvassing for the dems unless you're gobbling up enough guaranteed donations to outweigh the amount you send
