And billionaire Trump donor Elon Musk ā who is overseeing the administrationās controversial effort to rapidly shrink the federal government ā has criticized ActBlue, seeking to tie it to protests and acts of vandalism against his electric-vehicle company Tesla. He has argued, without evidence to substantiate his claims, that some prominent Democrats ā including one who died in 2019 ā were funding ActBlue and the protests.
āSomething stinks about ActBlue,ā MuskĀ postedĀ earlier this month on his social media platform, X.
I mean. Fundraising is fundraising. Have you ever been around it? Itās weird. I donāt understand it. But I do understand what Ketamine Elmo is trying to do.
Yeah, heās trying to declare any fundraising done by democrats as āfraud.ā What Iām saying is that Kamala and the DNC are once again completely out of touch, thinking the original rules are still in place and weāre playing the same game we were 10 or 20 years ago. They could raise all the money in the world and it would not matter. The bigger the number, the louder Elon will yell fraud. Reality doesnāt exist anymore.
I donāt disagree, but fundraising emails are emails they send all the time to raise funds. They do it on a train, they do it on a plane, they do it here and there, they do it everywhere. That by itself isnāt really remarkable that theyāre asking for money and the reason of the day is āletās show trump whatever whateverā. I donāt think that proves much.
The fact that only AOC and Bernie have made waves by holding rallies to specifically say āletās stop this bullshitā is whatās damning the rest of them. If Harris wants another bite, sheās going to need to lead that soon and well.
Actually, for that matter - ANYONE is going to need to lead that soon and well, and it canāt be Bernie because he said it isnāt. If itās AOC, great, letās see some support for her.
