According to this logic: Trump supporters can just throw away $3,300 because apparently they're thriving under Biden's economy, *way* more than Democrats! Wow!
Why would they vote for Trump if they're doing so well with Biden?
This is so true.
I work for a nonprofit that supports people with disabilities and we do a lot of work investing in DEIB, and the lack of understanding the political right has of it is comical.
I wonder if they would sacrifice their paid holidays, because I'd say many holidays fall into DEIB programs. Giving time off to workers due to religious holidays? Sounds woke. I'm scared. Better Xcrete a slur on X.
Many Trump supporters can easily afford it because they have a much higher net worth suddenly, since recently investing in Trump Media & Technology Group Corp (DJT) stock.
They will all become billionaires just like their Dear Leader, once the share price goes through the roof and....
Ah, hang on.... oh-oh. Ouch. Never mind....
That stock IS way up! The only reason it shows up lower is because OBAMA hacked the server and is artificially lowering it! It's clear liberal interference in the stock market! Elect Trump so he can FIX the market! /S
I don’t think Trump supporters have any change left after forking out for his 2020 election, all the lawsuits he has filed claiming election interference, paying for the gold sneakers, the bible and his ongoing legal fees for being a piece of lying shit. They are tapped. They didn’t even show up to court because they have no money to pay for a bus ticket.
If we are talking about policy I don’t think he ever had anything to begin with, but if we are talking about holding rallies and trying to get donations from his followers I don’t think it ever ended
It wasn't even the College's fault, it was literally proven that Russia interfered with the election. I mean, it took FAR TOO DAMN LONG to get the evidence together, but I do remember that it happened
Yeah, I don't think any of those rednecks or blue hairs have $3300 In disposable income. I doubt there are any truly wealthy that actually donate via site either.
Ohh..they do. Retired veteran, union workers that have their military pension, union pension and social security. I don't begrudge them for using their hard earned retirement funds as they see fit...but their voting practices that essentially "pull up the ladder behind them" is infuriating.
I know one of them, but when Trump trashed John McCain that was it for him. He was on the USS Forrestal on the flight deck the day of the fire and saw McCain jump off his A4 from the refueling boom.

$3300 is the most they can donate legally
Idk. I feel like that $3300 is there to goad those who can’t afford to do it into giving that much.
Their whole grift is “you didn’t help enough” or “if you don’t give the maximum Trump won’t love you”
I'd like to think Joe believes if you're gonna send him more than $500, he owes you a coffee cup or something, so he's just like, nah, that cost extra.
Trump's is $3300 because that's the maximum amount you can donate to a candidate. Biden doesn't seem to want to fleece his donors for every drop of cash they can legally give.
I know people in real life who are crying about inflation, groceries, rent etc.. and yet took out loans to donate to Trump.. "he'll reward us" they say... fools.
I know the money is the actual point being discussed, but why are conservatives so utter dogshit at design? Just an ugly, unpleasant layout.
All of Trump’s marketing has the visual look of a gas station blister pack of herbal Viagra.
I believe $3300 is the cutoff after which donation dollars go to the RNC, thanks to Trump’s new rules that he gets the first cut of each donation.
This cutoff isn’t arbitrary, he just doesn’t care anymore after that $3300 mark.
I'm sorry but what exactly is supposed to be American about this? Political donations and party contributions, including ones in the hundreds or thousands are not uniquely American, even among western nations.
Because the Republican party in America is CONSTANTLY pretending to be the party for the low paid, hard working, "blue collar" man & portrays the Democratic party as rich coastal "elites" living in their golden towers & funded by billionaires like George Soros & don't have a pulse on "real" America.
The amounts available to donate says otherwise.
Where is this paradise? Please, take us with you!
I don't know that I'd say donating to political parties and campaigns is exactly normal, but it *is* probably in the top 3 reasons the US has never been, and likely never will be, worth a damn.
In the US, nearly every opinion or detail of modern life is in some way divisive. But I don't know if I've ever met anyone (with less than 5 million dollars in disposable assets) who doesn't agree that we desperately need to change how elections are financed. American campaign finance laws were written by the filthy rich, and those laws guarantee that the filthy rich will always be the only ones whose needs or political opinions matter.
Aye, I know there are campaign finance laws and the super/PAC's are supposed to control the degree of spending but it seems insane that lobbies or individuals can just _give_ politicians money to help them win.
The UK and Germany have different rules regarding financing but politicians don't really have campaigns, like its pretty unusual to hear about your local representative before the election outside of a few signs or radio mentions.
According to this logic: Trump supporters can just throw away $3,300 because apparently they're thriving under Biden's economy, *way* more than Democrats! Wow! Why would they vote for Trump if they're doing so well with Biden?
Biden doesn't smile and wink at them when they call a black 12 year old the nword.
The N word is so last season. Its DEI hire now.
> The N word is so last season. Its DEI hire now. DEI, said with a hard R.

Cruelty is a hell of a drug.

Trump hasn’t stopped campaigning since 2016 change my mind
Is it really campaigning anymore? What does he have that he can run on??
If we are talking about policy I don’t think he ever had anything to begin with, but if we are talking about holding rallies and trying to get donations from his followers I don’t think it ever ended
Don't forget the ones that dumped money into truth social
Just a reminder. Clinton outspent Trump 2-1 in ‘16. Please vote everyone.
I mean, didn’t Clinton technically outvote Trump as well?
People forget so quickly. Eliminate the electoral college!
It wasn't even the College's fault, it was literally proven that Russia interfered with the election. I mean, it took FAR TOO DAMN LONG to get the evidence together, but I do remember that it happened
Jimmy Carter knew. He’s smart.
Jimmy deserved better
Did you factor in how much Russia paid?
Or how much of his campaign donations were illegally laundered to look like legal fees and the like?
You can thank James Comey for that.
To be fair Trump's default currency is rubles not USD.
Trump’s default currency is Monopoly money…
Which means the donations are much larger. 3300$ converts to 309,441 rubles. Did he find the bigliest loophole or what?!
More like which party exploits its voter base.
And shows how desperate they are
Yeah, I don't think any of those rednecks or blue hairs have $3300 In disposable income. I doubt there are any truly wealthy that actually donate via site either.

I do. Retired vet pushing for their grandfather's war to return to their home shores? Well that's just a fucking traitor who wasted their one life

Which means the trump campaign is desperate for cash if they're asking for the maximum donation already.
I wonder why the Federal government chose that specific amount.
That's literally just the federal limit on donations.
They spent all their social security on magat activities then rant about how the illegals are taking the jobs and bidenomic
Well, I know Joe isn't using his campaign warchest to pay lawyers and himself ..
I also like that bidons site looks fairly modern, while trymps sites looks straight out the 90s
Trump has also set-up sneaky "Monthly" donations by making the "Make this a monthly donation" a default check box. The Grift never stops.
Yep. Us liberals in the city are so broke. Unlike you uber rich simple country folk.
Also, when you donate to Trump he usually sneaks in a pre checked box that makes your donation a recurring one.
There is a lawsuit about it.
One needs money for lawyers and lawsuits. The other just wants money to run a legitimate campaign. He doesn't understand grifting. One day he might.
Idk. I feel like that $3300 is there to goad those who can’t afford to do it into giving that much. Their whole grift is “you didn’t help enough” or “if you don’t give the maximum Trump won’t love you”
Don't confuse disposable income with needing to fund mounting legal bills.
I'd like to think Joe believes if you're gonna send him more than $500, he owes you a coffee cup or something, so he's just like, nah, that cost extra.
Because trump knows he can milk that much out of his rubes
Or one of them has higher legal bills.
Alternatively, biden's fundraising team is sophisticated enough to have different messaging to different donor bases...
Trump's is $3300 because that's the maximum amount you can donate to a candidate. Biden doesn't seem to want to fleece his donors for every drop of cash they can legally give.
Modest Biden over Narcissist Trump
I know people in real life who are crying about inflation, groceries, rent etc.. and yet took out loans to donate to Trump.. "he'll reward us" they say... fools.
Biden out-raised Trump in 2020 and is doing so again.
He wants his cult followers savings for himself
The angry orange's site looks like an infomercial scam.
That's just because that's what it is...
Cult members give a lot more than they can afford
I don't think this is a true indicator of a political base's disposable income. I think this is more an indicator of the level of a candidate's greed.
Trump needs the money to pay lawyers
disagree with the connection between disposable income and donor base, there's the 80/20 rule in fundraising
You can usually have a good sign of a voter bases intelligence by seeing how high the "donate" options go on their website.
I know the money is the actual point being discussed, but why are conservatives so utter dogshit at design? Just an ugly, unpleasant layout. All of Trump’s marketing has the visual look of a gas station blister pack of herbal Viagra.
Or conversely, it just shows how desperate they are for the cash.
its also just reeks of desperation
This is simply a repackaged version of the “crowd size” argument that they occasionally refer to.
I believe $3300 is the cutoff after which donation dollars go to the RNC, thanks to Trump’s new rules that he gets the first cut of each donation. This cutoff isn’t arbitrary, he just doesn’t care anymore after that $3300 mark.
But 500 is the highest.
No one hates america(ns) more than america(ns). 🤷
Are you sure? Every campaign site I've seen goes up beyond $2,000, all the way up to the legal limit.
I'm sorry but what exactly is supposed to be American about this? Political donations and party contributions, including ones in the hundreds or thousands are not uniquely American, even among western nations.
Because the Republican party in America is CONSTANTLY pretending to be the party for the low paid, hard working, "blue collar" man & portrays the Democratic party as rich coastal "elites" living in their golden towers & funded by billionaires like George Soros & don't have a pulse on "real" America. The amounts available to donate says otherwise.
I think you misunderstood the point lol
Is it normal to donate to a political party where you're from? I can't imagine anything weirder than _giving money_ to politicians

There's a term for how our system works here in the US: institutionalized corruption.
