How can someone donate over $800k to Trump when the maximum amount an individual can give is $3300?

Dark money Super PACs.

This is why we need campaign finance reform to protect democracy.

it is wild that rich ass folks can donate like 20 million to Trump's legal defense and legally totally cool of any campaign finance laws.

I may be the only one with this view, but: Katie Porter is right.

It *is* a bad thing that the Fed Soc SCOTUS blew up our campaign finance rules.

Billionaires *do* rig our elections.
And just because Trump uses the word doesn’t mean we can’t. 1/2

This election rigging language pisses me off to no end.

Sometimes you just get outspent. Sometimes that results in a loss. Grow up, move on, and support the Democrats moving forward.

Isaac "Ike" Perlmutter81 years old and worth around $4.4 billion

Linda McMahon, 75

Robert Bigelow, 79, has given MAGA Inc over $9 million

Patricia Duggan, a major donor to Scientology, has given MAGA Inc more than $5 million

Mellon also biggest donor to RFK, Jr., giving at least $20 million.

Saying she was outspent -- well, yes!

That's the effect of the Fed Soc SCOTUS judges weaponizing the first amendment to blow up our campaign finance system.

She's right to complain about our broken campaign funding system and how billionaires exploit it.

The top 4 political donors last year were Republican billionaires, spending $87.8 million on the 2024 elections.

Donald Trump's Super PAC raised $69,798,648 in untraceable dark money so far for the 2024 elections.

Our broken campaign finance laws are ushering in fascism.

George Santos, Donald Trump, MTG, and the Sedition Caucus aren’t a product of rising extremism.

They are a result of our broken campaign finance laws that allow corporations, dark money and billionaires to buy elections.

We need publicly funded elections to protect Democracy.

I’m not a campaign finance attorney, but nobody is required to donate to the RNC and there are usually disclosures (stating how the money will be distributed) prior to the point of donation, so donors have been informed and still chosen to donate.

Billionaires buying elections are problematic in the abstract but there is something to be said for being able to finance your own campaign and subsequently being less at the mercy of donors
