That was the entire point of my comment; I know it will inevitably happen. But dredging this up for this particular kid is a losing prospect. Have to wait for it to happen to someone that's actually decent in order to get outraged. Otherwise it looks bad.

Because let's be clear here: No matter how people holler and rail against this, it happened. It was always going to happen. Much better to save our outrage for when it inevitably happens again. They're going to bring up how ppl were so eager to defend a misogynist on this.

But in any case you can't possibly say it's just supposed to be a payment platform for political candidates and otherwise be "neutral" If it were then why can't Republicans use it

The biggest way ActBlue helps out smaller, low budget campaigns is they do most of the paperwork for you If Aaron starts taking donations "manually" he has to do all the recordkeeping and reporting himself Something tells me Team Coleman isn't set up for that task

Surely at least one of his 823 sworn allies, representing the true will of the voters of the 37th, will chip in and volunteer.

I'm pretty sure his official campaign treasurer (which you're required by law to have when you register as a candidate) is his grandmother
