In reply to the discussion: Cory Booker Will "Pause" Fundraising From Big Pharma Becaue It "Arouses So Much Criticism" [View all]Blue_true
(31,261 posts)During the election, I contributed to one of the Clinton supporting groups during the General. In theory, I was a dark money contributor, but in actuality, I had no fucking desire to influence Hillary if she had become President and would have ignored correspondence for groups affiliated with her had they emailed me for money after she won. I just wanted her to win because the alternative was and has turned out to be unimaginable.
If some big executive of a Pharma company makes the max contribution to Booker and contribute to a Booker related group, but the executive has a history of being a very strong Democrat, do we discard that person's money? If so, then who speaks for our principles in boardrooms when decisions are being made?
I get the sense that people like Greenwald and Assange would be perfectly happy if Democrats disarmed and all allowed themselves to be slaughtered in the streets (a hypothetical, pardon the imagery).
