Even with the legal disclaimer at the bottom I can't tell if this is some unaffiliated PAC or official Democratic Party stuff.

How easy is it to just whip up some scam PAC with a dumb donate button and a bunch of buzzwords like this? PACs are so unaccountable, it must be easy to rip people off.

digging around a bit, it appears to be an unaffiliated PAC

i'm pretty sure it's a grifting scam where their free* campaign lessons give you some vague info that sounds complicated but isn't very useful, and then for further aid they'll either recommend that you hire their consultant buddies or upsell you on "advanced" lessons that cost real money. at the same time, according to FEC filings, they pull in millions of dollars a year in donations by loudly claiming that they're giving free campaign lessons to the #resistance to help build the #bluewave2020 and dethrone Trump

the guy behind it is very shady and used to run a business that did almost exactly the same thing, except it charged for the courses

Honestly I think no one paid any attention to him before. He was always awful, but he was always just kinda... there, a safe vote for democratic stuff and who would never have an exciting election. But now he's in charge and we're all watching him gently caress everything up

I remember after they turned Libya into a power-vacuum civil-war-ridden human trafficking hell hole by killing Quaddafi, media people said that his son would unite everyone because of the tribal nature of Libyan society requires it. It seems the Democrats require it too, even though this seems like a pretty transparent bid by Hillary to have one more shot at becoming shadow president

Haven’t heard poo poo about Libya in ages, and decided to look it up. Looks like most of the country is controlled by the guys that the UN didn’t endorse

I wanted to bring up reparations chat. Reparations is first and foremost a recognition by the state and white people of slavery and systemic racism. Any reparations program will ultimately fail if cultural and social change are not included. These are just a few necessary attributes:

1.Slavery and racism need to be a key topic in every american history museum.
2.Slavery and racism need to be a critical aspect of american history starting as early as possible in a child's education. For example, slavery has to be a focus of discussion when talking about the 'founding fathers'. Rebellion and abolition should be the focus, not theories of great white men (think Howard Zinn instead of your run of the mill textbook).
3.Destroy all the confederate statues and replace them abolitionists, civil rights leaders, Malcolm X. Actually just Malcom X.
4.Legalize marijuana, pardon all drug convicts of color and give them first opportunity to set-up businesses.

The list is much longer but you get the point.

The question of "who gets reparations" in terms of material gains is rather boring and concern trolling . A few committees can be set-up to determine who based on various criteria, but basically should include all black people.

Reparations for bringing people into the USA for forced labor, resulting in their progeny being able to grow up in the richest nation on earth (who would otherwise be in Africa)? That's a good one.

Let's see who, in current day Africa, would literally sell themselves into slavery if it meant their children could grow up in the USA. Oh, that's over the total immigration quota across all countries in the world? Huh.
