Vox Nihili posted:It's legal in the same way that various forms tax evasion that use aggressive accounting strategies are legal until the law is clarified. It obviously defeats the purpose of the law using straw transactions, and a functioning regulatory arm would stomp it into dust. so the people being paid that were on hillary's payroll were administrating the fund, and that's allowed under the law. anyway, the structure is essentially this - the dnc funds are used to transfer money to state parties. the state parties then build coordinated campaigns that are officially not part of the clinton campaign (no one is employed by hillary for america) but are allowed to coordinate with the national apparatus. the coordinated campaigns just do "get out the vote" because that's an activity states typically (universally?) allow parties to do without running afoul of state campaign finance laws. the gotv efforts work on behalf of all candidates, but obviously the funds are directed to states hillary is competing in. because this is all explicitly allowed under campaign finance law, it's completely kosher. you're right to say "well, if you can just hand an entity affiliated then the law has no meaning," and that's because the supreme court demolished all the laws that existed to keep these kinds of practices in check. as i mentioned before, in 2012 the obama victory fund allowed people to max out up to $75,800 by using essentially the same strategy hillary used, although on a smaller scale. but everyone knew that the $75,800 went entirely to obama, the dnc which would spent it for obama, and then to presidential battleground states to gotv for obama. mccutcheon just allowed them to take the obama strategy and make it even larger. as a reminder, a politician can actually go to a superpac fundraiser and ask people to donate money, as long as they personally do not ask them to donate an amount higher than $5400 - and this was literally the actual fec ruling. and campaign workers can actually call people and ask them to donate $10 million dollars as long as they say the words "the candidate did not ask me to ask you." again, per the fec. not a deadlock, their actual advisory opinions. because that's what the law actually allows.

Stalin had bits of his skull covertly carried about in his entourage for some time before finally tiring of it, after which he had the remains properly cremated and dumped in a Moscow sewer.

Article on Bernicrats getting rat hosed, I guess it helps that things like DNC head are mainly determined by party insiders not regular voters. For CA state level elections, 2/3 of the votes get decided by super delegates and part insiders. http://www.politico.com/story/2017/05/29/bernie-sanders-ballot-losses-23888 quote:After the 2016 election, Sanders faced an even higher-profile setback: The Democratic National Committee installed a prominent Hillary Clinton surrogate, Tom Perez, as its chairman, defeating Rep. Keith Ellison, Sanders’ preferred choice. Sanders-aligned candidates secured victories in state party chair races in Hawaii and Nebraska, but they were rebuffed in California, Florida, Iowa and Maine.

even the fundraising digital ads put up by hillary victory fund were far less "aggressive" than what obama did in 2012. she put up ads with her face on it (duh, it's the hillary victory fund) with links to a website to donate under the pretext that it was simply donor acquisition, which is clearly allowed. obama did this:quote:WASHINGTON — Some people catching up with their favorite television shows on Hulu, especially people living in swing states and zip codes heavy with the right demographic groups, may have seen ads urging President Barack Obama’s reelection. They likely don’t realize they’ve also seen the latest innovation in campaign spending. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/02/barack-obama-online-advertising_n_1932755.html

Even 15 years ago this poo poo wouldn't fly. Our country is disgusting, our candidates are disgusting, our party is disgusting, more so every year. I mean honestly, passing fat donation bux back and forth between party entities to launder them is pretty next level even for America. Separating the "Hillary GOTV Presented by the DNC and run by various Hillary employees" from the campaign entity for fundraising purposes is just silly. It all needs to be cut down and rebuilt from the ground up. Vox Nihili has issued a correction as of 02:53 on May 30, 2017 |

comedyblissoption posted:it's really condescending when hillfolk keep maintaining that superdelegates would never overturn the popular vote if a scenario came up where the establishment candidate lost when that is almost entirely their sole reason for existence Yeah for the recent california state party election a regular vote cast amount to 1/3 of the vote, the rest got decided by party insiders. Ellis was ratfucked by the centrist political class since all the votes come from the state level/super-delegates which are also heavily tied to donor interests. The obama white also got involved to make sure Ellis would not win the election and instead the Hillary surrogate Perez won the election. Too bad the US doesn't have a proportional representation so Berniecrats could separate themselves from the corrupt donor democrat political class and have their own party.

comedyblissoption posted:to be fair, small business owners shouldn't have to. the current policy of health insurance in the united states is really bad for small businesses compared to the alternative of a medicare-for-all like system and definitely favors larger businesses. the terrible healthcare policies pushed by the democrats and republicans is the single largest economic drain in the entire country. Yeah a single payer system would be the best system for small businesses and any sort of business since US health insurance is the worst in the whole developed world in terms of value.

this is why campaign finance reform is dumb: the money always finds a way. instead we should have publicly financed floors for all congressional races so that each party can field a candidate with a reasonable chance of getting their message heard by voters without having to rely on the fickle nature of the central party committee that can't figure out why nobody outside of D.C. likes them.
