Republicans' WinRed and Democrats' ActBlue donation platforms are looting elderly dementia patients of their life savings to fund their political campaigns, CNN reports. WATCH: From CNN, "How elderly dementia patients are unwittingly fueling political campaigns": The 80-year-old communications engineer from Texas had saved for decades, driving around in an old car and buying clothes from thrift stores so he'd have enough money to enjoy his retirement years.James O'Keefe last year contacted people at random who made tons of small donations to ActBlue and found similar cases. Both parties are draining our elderly of their life savings like Indian phone scammers. Most establishment politicians don't even need their money because the funding they used to have to raise from small donors and large corporations now all comes from a few billionaire megadonors like Miriam Adelson and Michael Bloomberg. The Washington Post shared this list of the top donors for the 2024 election cycle which they updated on Oct 16th: Elon Musk is the only one on the list who has done anything to buck the system and he's been rewarded for it with endless investigations (including a DOJ lawsuit against him for hiring Americans over refugees and asylum seekers).
Musk has gone all-in on Trump because, if you take what he says at face value, he believes a Harris administration will throw him in prison. The AP reported last week that Trump's donations from small donors have plummeted since the last election. "Fewer than a third of the Republican's campaign contributions have come from donors who gave less than $200 -- down from nearly half of all donations in his 2020 race, according to an analysis by The Associated Press and OpenSecrets, an organization that tracks political spending," the AP reported. The AP continued: The total collected from small donors has also declined, according to the analysis. Trump raised $98 million from such contributors through June, a 40% drop compared to the $165 million they contributed during a corresponding period in his previous presidential race.The aggressive tactics WinRed is using were partly to blame, the AP noted: Republicans also engaged in a hyperaggressive -- often combative -- style of digital fundraising that is alienating voters, the operatives said. Campaigns and committees often share or rent lists of donors to each other, leading to voters being flooded with similar solicitations that can be confusing.Our political system is just one giant grift machine and the only issue our representatives agree on is giving Israel endless weapons to commit genocide. The main reason they're even asking for small donations these days is to give plebs the illusion they're part of the system.
