It's literally the quantum unit of political sacrifice—in that there's no sacrifice you could make that is smaller—but I see even people who believe we're halfway to fascism refusing to help worthy campaigns because they might get mildly annoyed.https://twitter.com/SteveBellovin/status/1312911854121951233 …
If you want it to change, you need to elect people who will reform it, and to do that requires giving those people campaign donations. I'm not dismissing the problem, but asking people to have some sense of perspective.

I get you're fundraising for people who need it. I think a lot of the "successful" campaigns/PACs using these lists are run by people interested in continuing this model. "Donate to reform the system" feels hollow. Don't have a fix here, just wish it could be better somehow.

My point is that the only way to get reformers into office is to elect them within the system they're trying to reform, which requires some money. If you think that's a fool's errand, then I respect your opinion, even if (for now) I disagree.
