it's not even just that. they specifically did it in a far left blue City knowing that the Democrats vastly outnumber the Republicans there. so basically they sent a bunch of money to Democrats give to democratic candidates. another way that they laundered money taxpayer money
What will happen is that fake campaign donations will come in using the names of people who are dead, moved away, underage, or who just did not contribute. It's a money laundering scam.
Yes, it definitely accomplishes exactly what you suggest while also making sure that, even if the peasants eventually can't afford food with cash, the politicians will still receive their donations, guaranteed by taxpayer funds that have been pre-allocated.
This is just another version of the Government giving funding to places like Planned Parenthood, who in turn donate to Political Parties or other groups. Now its not just companies.
It's money laundering. We'll give you government money, but you can only spend it by giving it to us. You might want that money for dealing with inflation, gas, food or paying down your massive credit card debt, but the politicians are such self centered fucks they want to pretend that you just can't wait to give them more money that's already largely coming from your taxes.
They're not buying votes since this money can only be spent on the politicians, they're basically taking your money, giving part of it back to you and then saying give it to us. These people are thieves.
Well it's either printed, tax dollar or your own money directly. Either way you pay for it basically, they're just saying you will pay them.
There are millions of people in these places, times 100usd per head.. that's a lot of money.
Sure you can - just look at congress. They do it all year and nothing happens lol. They’re all emboldened and the constitution is becoming meaningless.
I agree with you BTW. But this seems like something the CA Supreme Court will have to step in on.
Wouldn't that be reason enough to recreate society to make that nearly impossible for the people? If people use their sovereignty against corrupt politicians, simply make them lose something and be afraid. Wealth, job, family, house, vehicles, etc. all subject to loss if people start expressing their sovereignty over government. But you are absolutely correct, but if it's only on paper is it reality?
Welcome to politics! And if by some miracle you win, instead of acting within your powers, you can send out spam emails asking for donations to do the job you weren't going to do anyways!
In Minnesota, we have this well-established in two different forms: You can check a box on your tax return that delivers money from the general fund into politics. We also have a PCR method where up to $100 per couple is refunded to you through the state when you give to candidates.
In 1982 Robert Heinlein published a novel, Friday, with a balkanized United States and Canada where California was one of the goofiest 'clown nations' of all. All the 'nations' were in a constant state of war and pointless Antifa-style violence. Leader assassinations were commonplace, and electronic tracking and police corruption were endemic. It contains this sad but interesting quote...
"Sick cultures show a complex of symptoms . . . but a dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners, is more significant than is a riot."
"This symptom is especially serious in that an individual displaying it never thinks of it as a sign of ill health but as proof of his/her strength. Look for it. Study it. Friday, it is too late to save this culture -- this worldwide culture, not just the freak show here in California. Therefore we must now prepare the monasteries for the coming Dark Age. Electronic records are too fragile; we must again have books, of stable inks and resistant paper. But that may not be enough. The reservoir for the next renaissance may have to come from beyond the sky."
From beyond the sky meant from space colonies (which existed already in that book universe). But there are none today. I never thought I'd be living in the fringes of this bizarre world.
They Got caught laundering Taxpayers Money through Crypto Currency Companies,
( That's why they Killed McAfee, He found out ) so now they are just going to launder taxpayers Money right in Front of Your faces!
Think about it for a second though. We owe the idea at least a reasonable hearing on it's merits. Right now, our political system entirely controlled by ~400 families who happen to be the nation's richest and most capable of dumping large sums of money into campaigns. Small dollar donors never generate the kind on influence to demand changes to party platforms or to truly select their own candidates. We just watched this with Murkowski in Alaska. The big money funded the GOP and the RNC. McConnell then spent that money to destroy Tshibaka, her MAGA opponent. Small dollar donations couldn't defeat big corporate money. And it's true all over the country.
So, if you stand on the principle of representative government, it would seem rational to redefine the election system in such a way as to give the average Joe a bigger voice. By giving every citizen $100 which can only be spent on political donations (major caveats here), you improve democracy by allowing more people to participate in the political process. The taxpayer foots the bill for this because it is in the taxpayer's interest to be represented by the people's choice and not the corporations' or the political parties' choice.
That's the argument for it. And it's worth considering.
The arguments against it are numerous and I'm sure others will make them. The most convincing for me is that this is not the proper role of government. Nor will $100 offset a $1 million donation from Soros. You'd need 10,000 such donations to do that. We're attempting to play a losing numbers game, and there's major issues with ensuring that money isn't squandered or embezzled. In fact, it seems like government sanctioned money laundering if you happen to be in a deep red or deep blue uncontested district.
This is what happens when the entire leftist state government takes their brains out, Plays duck duck goose with them (during a legislative session), and then throws them in a pile like shoes at a sock hop.
At the end of the legislative session, they just take a random brain on the way out, ram it back in their empty skull, and go on as if nothing happened. Now all the brains are broken.
LEFTISTS ARE MENTALLY REATARDAED. every last one of them.
That sounds....not legal.
Taxpayer money being used to fund political candidates? Sounds very not legal.
Not only that, but FORCING to make taxpayers fund political candidates.
Newports and 40oz’s for all!
This is how it will go, and I guarantee you the end results will prove how stupid this idea was to begin with.
That's the best way this could go tbh.
it's not even just that. they specifically did it in a far left blue City knowing that the Democrats vastly outnumber the Republicans there. so basically they sent a bunch of money to Democrats give to democratic candidates. another way that they laundered money taxpayer money

Don’t forget filing fees.
Those could be a few thousand dollars, depending on locality and the office you’re running for.
This isn’t as easy as you think. It costs money to even register to run for political office. That’s how they keep the riff-raff out.
Funny you say that... I'm running for office in California (checks article...) two years from now!
Thank you. I just found my retirement gig…
I hope they use their vouchers on MAGA candidates in Houston
It sounds like a trap to determine everyone’s voting preference.
With some candidates being more equal than others
Every citizen should run for office and donate to themselves
Yes, it definitely accomplishes exactly what you suggest while also making sure that, even if the peasants eventually can't afford food with cash, the politicians will still receive their donations, guaranteed by taxpayer funds that have been pre-allocated.
It's yet another money laundering scheme. Except it's just out in clear day. Wonderful.
Donate that $100 to my campaign and I'll give you $20 in free gas vouchers
That sounds like an infinite money hack!
This is just another version of the Government giving funding to places like Planned Parenthood, who in turn donate to Political Parties or other groups. Now its not just companies.
Democrats: How is it not legal? We've been doing it for decades...
It is one the the most not legal things ever that is not legal.
It’s (D)ifferent when they do it
Tell me Democrats aren't getting any donations from the public without telling me Democrats aren't getting any donations from the public
Send in your political (D)onation today!

Buying votes
They're not buying votes since this money can only be spent on the politicians, they're basically taking your money, giving part of it back to you and then saying give it to us. These people are thieves.
Tired of these fucking corrupt politicians.
Don't worry! It's going to get MUCH worse!
But we're gonna vote even harder and double up our meme game so they have no chance of stealing 2024 like they stole 2018, 2020 and 2022.
Well it's either printed, tax dollar or your own money directly. Either way you pay for it basically, they're just saying you will pay them. There are millions of people in these places, times 100usd per head.. that's a lot of money.
It'll cost $150 per check sent out because you need to add in administration costs.
$150 might be low
Sounds about right
$300 minimum. Everybody at every step will need their taste.
"... Tell your friends I don't want a lot. Just enough to wet my beak." ~Don Fanucci
Ballot harvesting works great for them so now they're doing money harvesting.
The Big Guy still gets 10%
Does it even matter if stuff is legal or not legal anymore? Nothing is enforced for the ruling class. They will do whatever they want.
since when did they care about anything being legal.
First Amendment violation. Sue.
The residents voted for it lol
That's nice. You can't vote for things that violate the constitution.
Sure you can - just look at congress. They do it all year and nothing happens lol. They’re all emboldened and the constitution is becoming meaningless.
I agree with you BTW. But this seems like something the CA Supreme Court will have to step in on.
The CA Supreme Court will step in!
And make it $200.
KEK
Planned Parenthood receives federal monies and then donates $100 million to candidates
The reason the constitution is meaningless is because we the people havent enforced it centuries.
They didnt put the second amendment in there for the lols.
Thing is, this is for State elections. States have the right to set their own election laws/rules.
I am not defending this blasphemy in any way, but they voted for it.
States do not have the right to violate the constitutional rights of the citizens, regardless of whether the citizens voted for it. Time to brush up.
But if they do it anyway, who's to stop them?
Might be secession time at the minimum.
Ultimate sovereignty rests with the people.
Indeed, indeed.
Wouldn't that be reason enough to recreate society to make that nearly impossible for the people? If people use their sovereignty against corrupt politicians, simply make them lose something and be afraid. Wealth, job, family, house, vehicles, etc. all subject to loss if people start expressing their sovereignty over government. But you are absolutely correct, but if it's only on paper is it reality?
That's not true. You definitely can vote for things that violate the constitution. If passed, or even before it passes, someone has to sue to stop it.
Muh latches, moot, and no standing
Voting. Lol.
Lol you misspelled dominion
😂 true
The majority cannot vote away the rights of the minority. Thats the basis for our whole system.
Just like most of the people in America voted for Biden in 2020? Riiight.
I'm going to take your money via taxation, then give you a pittance so you can give it BACK to me. Also, vote democrat.
In a nutshell, yes.
I'm running for office. Send me $100.
Aw shucks I lost the election ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Welcome to politics! And if by some miracle you win, instead of acting within your powers, you can send out spam emails asking for donations to do the job you weren't going to do anyways!
Why can't someone just nuke that state already and save us a ton of headaches.
Why ceed territory to entropy when you can conquer it and make it a shining gem again
There are some shit stains that just can't be washed out.
10,000° from a nuke wouldn't be enough to clean up San Francisco, hahahahaha

“Once an area is 51 percent democrat, abandon the land and give it to the enemy.”
You, apparently
Money laundering
CA is the litmus test for “at what point will liberals say hold up” on bullshit retarded policies.
It was. Now they just make sure they get the results they want.
so this is how they get around directly misappropriating public money to give to candidates.
In Minnesota, we have this well-established in two different forms: You can check a box on your tax return that delivers money from the general fund into politics. We also have a PCR method where up to $100 per couple is refunded to you through the state when you give to candidates.
That sounds just as bad
We need to just build a wall around California and disown that shit hole

And woodchipper anything that comes out.
After about 20 years, the only survivors will be based.
Use it to donate to Trump
How can that even be legal?
It’s not
Money laundering in plain sight.
Everyone in that California city should register as a candidate the next year, and just keep the $100.
Right out in the open.
They Got caught laundering Taxpayers Money through Crypto Currency Companies, ( That's why they Killed McAfee, He found out ) so now they are just going to launder taxpayers Money right in Front of Your faces!
Democracy dollars?!?! Ok, it was a nice try everyone. Time to burn it down.
Biden's voter fraud organization idea people just keep cranking out one golden goose after another.

Gotta give it to Democrats...
They play OFFENSE ALWAYS!!!
What could possibly go wrong with this decision.?. AZ. Calling the state of AZ.
Just write them a check and cash it yourself, save the postage.
Just like elections.

"you gave it to us" lol
More money laundering by our governments
Well that's one way to steal taxpayer dollars.
Sounds like a overt bribe
Getting to the point where I can crack walnuts between my eyebrows...
Money laundering
And if one keeps the money?
They must be running, maybe write in candidate?
How dare you insinuate this is a bribe, Nazi!
"Instead of laundering the money, lets just give it to the people to donate to us!"
-Faggot traitors
Democrats use taxpayer dollars to fund their campaigns, one way or another. That's what they do.
Taxation is theft.its like communism, good in theory, horrible in practice.
One vote per citizen is not enough?
It will cost $150 per check at bare minimum.
