Will the Democrats give back the donations that came from the ill gotten gains?
EDIT
I'm going to guess "make excuses and keep the money" is going to be the way forward, based on the downvotes.
It's sad that on HN you can no longer ask a question to see what points of view people might have, but instead just get a bunch of downvotes based on "I don't like the point of view".
- throwoutway 4y agoThis is what I was thinking. Now these politicians are tied to a corrupt/fraudulent billionaire. Would you want your name attached to Madoff?
- themihai 4y agoI don't think that makes any sense if the money was spent.
- JumpCrisscross 4y ago> Would you want your name attached to Madoff? Nobody is naming a wing after the guy. It’s money legally spent. (Unless it was paid to SBF after FTX was insolvent.) In any case, gamblers haven’t historically been a sympathised-for victim.
- yieldcrv 4y agodepends on the genealogy of that specific money if that specific money wasn't embezzled then nah
- defterGoose 4y agoIt's clear you're working with some funny money when you have to ask whether it's fungible or not...
- yieldcrv 4y agoa standard that applies to all major banks equally
- mint2 4y agoSounds like most the money went to pacs, which are independent of the candidates, so not sure how that would even work. Give back money that they didn’t get?
- l3uwin 4y agoMaybe support campaign finance laws instead of new spins on the southern strategy then
