A nice illustration of how PACs are a legal form of grift comes this month from Brianna Wu's RebellionPAC, a "Clean PAC fighting for progressive, working class values across the country." Like everyone else, RebellionPAC cleaned up in Q3, bringing in over $150K in donations

okay, I mean I get the griftiness of it which is dodgy af, but it just seems a bit token if there are lots of people doing this

BW doesn't need me sticking up for her, but: aren't there worse grifters you could be taking on? I mean, $17K is barely even fucking there in the context of US corruption. (You're gonna say "that $17K should have gone to candidates", and I don't have a good rejoinder.)

It's a brand new PAC that targets the same audience I do, for the same goals, so it's particularly easy for me to understand. If you have others you think fit this descriptin, i'm all ears. My argument is not that the $17K should have gone to candidates, but the entire $150K!
