Elon Musk's $10 million donation to GOP candidate Nate Morris signals his intent to influence the 2026 midterms, sparking criticism from Bernie Sanders and Matt Dunlap.
I’m not super knowledgeable on American donation laws, are there limits to how much a “person” can donate to a campaign? In Canada it’s limited to around CAD$3000-$5000 but I guess if corporations (sorry, “people”), can dump tons of cash into campaigns it means there’s no limit in the US?
This. Corporations on paper should have consequences like a person. In practice, they can do whatever they want, because the US Government worships capitalism. More so than the people.
If corporations are people, they should be able to be given the death sentance. I can think of a few that are directly responsible for the deaths of a lot of people, and all they had to do was pay some fines/lawsuits. DuPont comes to mind.
Fun idea, unfortunately what empowers those corporations, besides the system they thrive in, is the fact that they have immense wealth commandeered by a select few, not their sole legal status.
There are limits on how much can be donated to a campaign and how hidden those amounts and donors can be to an extent. But there are no limits on how much somebody not associated or affiliated with the campaign can spend on messaging for the campaign. This is where Super PACs and dark money come in.

It does.
However, corporations are not people when it comes to consequences.
It’s yet another classic example of socialize the risk, privatize the profit.

I honestly might make a non-profit that just makes everyone resisting this regime into a corporate entity.
I’ma dumb-fuck so help is needed.
