It's not a donation for them, it's an investment they expect a return on.

[lauraa.e.]

Money's involved. So, I guess it's serious now?

[brianackerman]

We don't live in a democracy, we live in an oligarchy.

[ivypixley]

What is sickening is they can find donations for this but nothing else for the good of the people but money to keep us suffering

[bonniehage]

The only reason these "donors" are concerned NOW is to cover their own butts!

[walterAnders]

So the rich people are donating to the party that's going to make sure the rich people pay their fair it

[ScreamingSicilian]

Imagine what 90 million could do to help people in need

[CDz-bkqi]

That just goes to show that elections dont depend on voters...they depend on special interests.

[wrangler]

The level of corruption in our politics is sickening.

[gailjordan]

Tell them to keep it then because they really didn’t intend to give it any way. It is too late to put someone else in the ticket when 14 million + have already voted for President Biden.

[Sheri.C.]

Not sure if the mainstream medias have any sense of SHAME at this point?

[UnitedCorporationsOfAmerica]

Plutogarchy. The donor class deserves to be converted into the organ donor class.

[chimera_]

"Did you donate it?"
"I pledged it."

[androidphone]

Why did a unscripted news conference have a preset list of people who will talk to Biden? How is that spontaneous questioning?

[gumdrop]

So rich donors get to override what voters want... Unacceptable.

[Alex]

The media is
Thanks for absolutely nothing.

[MrIigmac]

So much money involved. Its a big scam.

[mike-uyt]

Imagine rich people controlling the elections. Yep.

[emmagarcia]

The donors won't donate if there's no sordid motives. People need to know who are the donors.

[lisabrown]

I would like to know who these donors are, so I do not make the mistake of supporting them or their businesses.
