You think a party shouldn't pay the candidates legal bills?
https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/12/politics/legal-fees-biden-democrats/index.html
I'm not saying you shouldn't be mad, you should.
But you should be mad regardless of the letter by someone's name.
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.”]
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 that you just made up some bullshit? 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:
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.
