There really should be a cap of like $500
There should, but even the people running the Dem party dont agree.
The Biden Victory Fund can now take almost a million a year from each citizen. It's not quite a PAC, because it allows the DNC, Biden, and Biden's campaign staff to coordinate.
Along with some other shady shit.
It's an evolution of the Hillary Victory Fund that managed to lose to trump, bankrupt the DNC, lose a lot of "safe seats" down ballot due to no acces to their own donations, and bankrupted multiple state parties.
But what are you going to do? What other options do you have?

This money doesn't stay hidden till the general, even back in 2016 this program was in use during the primary with Hillary's campaign team controlling the flow of money to the DNC and state parties.
And like I said, that group literally just shifted from Hillary to Biden and been running the same grift.
The people running that controls all the money, and they decide who runs as a Dem.
Ignoring the problem won't fix it. And unless we fix it, were never gonna get a candidate that represents Dem voters
There is no hope except a swift death for humanity. It’s the end of the (human) world.
