What is a SuperPAC? And would mind explaining what you're talking about?
- kennywinker 6y agonot OP, but a superpac is a US political group separate from a candidate. They collect money from random sources in a very unaccountable way, and spend money to get candidates elected or promote specific ideas. The "Super" comes from the fact that after the "citizens united" supreme court ruling these groups have basically no restrictions on the amount of money they can raise or tracking of how they spend it - essentially allowing billionaires and the super rich to buy as much influence as they want.
- djeiasbsbo 6y agoThank you for explaining and sorry for the typo in my comment you replied to (which I can no longer correct). I had never heard of that before, perhaps because these types of groups only seem to pop up in larger countries like the U.S.
