Aren't contribution limits a thing? Or are we done pretending that our politicians aren't bought and paid for?
nominally there a limits but the rich just donate however much they want to superpacs which are basically just front organizations for the politician.
I'm aware of all of the loopholes that exist now, but I didn't think the rich were just coming out and bragging about how they flaunt the very reasonable laws regarding contribution caps.
Probably donating to a Super PAC and not to her directly.
they have figured out how to get the individual contribution limit up to $926k via funneling donations to all fifty-one state parties and the DNC. I believe Hillary's team is the one who pioneered this but I'm not sure
Yea HVF was originally the Hillary For America fund and they did the same stuff. Since Harris was literally Hillary's plan B, I have no doubt she has the same donation bundlers and donors.
