please remember this is also a consequence of citizens united
when we allow corporations and billionaires to give unlimited sums to dark money PACs, campaigning has to be 75% fundraising to even compete on the same playing field

With all my heart I hope Talarico wins, but this kind of thing has to stop; it is one of the reasons so many Democratic voters hate the Democratic party. And it's not a Talarico problem; it's a Democratic consultant-class problem.

I think about this a lot, especially because I work in a space where:
1. altruistic fundraising is common
2. nonprofit fundraising can *also* be used for marketing “reach” & “conversion rate” of the organizer to sponsors
3. mutual aid is visible
4. I hear a lot privately about financial support
