    But only Harris can keep the funds accumulated for Biden’s campaign, right? Wouldn’t make much sense to go for another candidate I think…

      I’m not confident how this stuff works, because it’s dumb as hell, but any PAC can do whatever they want, as long as they don’t directly coordinate with the campaign. The Biden-Harris PAC can just use their money to support whoever the Democrats choose I believe. It doesn’t have to be spent supporting either of them.

      Given the source of most campaign financing in the USA, I’d actually prefer a candidate who refuses to touch PAC money.

        “The only candidate I like is the one who has no chance of winning!”

        Fucking leftists getting played like a fiddle by purity testing.

          Yeah, “Purity testing” like asking for left candidates to actually be left and not just more center-right neoliberals.

            You fuckers call everyone center-right. By your insane definition, the Democratic party is center right so you should stop demanding they put up a candidate that statistically no one in the country wants.

              That’s most of the world’s definition. America has a conservative party and a right-wing nutjob party.

              If you don’t like facts, you’re going to hate it when I start pointing out policy differences between them and left-of-center parties. XD
