2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThis is so exciting!
The fight over DNC favoritism and shady financing deals is finally going down.Here's a comment from reddit:
So the Hillary Victory Fund is this:
The DNC, Hillary campaign, and 32 states.
Voter donation limits to individual campaigns are $2700
Limit Donation to a state Democratic Party is: $10000 per state
Max donation to the DNC is: $33,400 to the dollar.
32 states have a "stake" in her victory fund, meaning they are looking for a return on their investment.
What Hillary is doing currently is having people donating $10000 to each state through this victory fund, and $33400 to the DNC. But the issue is, that most of the money is going into this fund for her campaign, but she promises these states and the DNC a senate majority. That is why superdelegates pledged so early on. This is where the problem is. It is laundering money through this fund into her campaign.
Let's calculate this: $10000 x 32 states = $320,000
$320,000 + $33400 max donation to the DNC = WHAT DO YA KNOW? $353,400.
Think that clooney dinner donation price was a coincidence?
True or false, it's getting a ton of attention and shaping the discussion.
Couple that with the big voter disaster in AZ and widespread allegations of a purge in NY.
Even the WaPo has an angle on the interesting pattern of shenanigans in this race.
Last year the FEC just said "Fuck it."
Political discussion boards have lit up with shillers and new accounts in just the last few hours. NONE of them are talking about the Pope anymore. Reddit's a total disaster. Even the ancient usenet groups are fired up.
Huge tide going one way. Equally huge tide going the other. No matter what, tomorrow is going to change us.
