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

geez you should blog this one (with all the examples) so we can all point to the blog entry and say "give directly to candidates, or don't bother"

For what it’s worth, my expectation was not that my money was going to candidates, but to their own operations to drive turnout. And I wouldn’t be surprised if the plan was always to raise more than they spent in Q3 so they could spend a ton in October

i guess maybe it could be legit to hold 2020 donations for 2022, thinking money will be less available then.
