    How old IS this shit? “The last three elections” and the graph goes to 2012? The latest date even cited is 2014, so that puts it nearly a decade behind… Opensecrets.org might want to get a few more interns and maybe move the office to a building with windows.

      I clearly added the year the data goes to, in the title. “(2016)”

      Which graph, exactly, and where are you getting your facts?

        More reputable sources than darkmoney.org, a site that lists no other sources and begs for money on every page.

        https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/27/politics/dark-money-democrats-joe-biden/index.html

        https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2021/11/arabella-advisors-money-democrats/620553/

        https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-09-20/biden-democrats-press-gop-to-end-secret-political-donations

        Here’s three, and here’s one from your supposed “source”

          “My” source? I’m not OP, and you made a claim without any inkling of factual basis, followed by a misdirected and overly vitriolic retort? Fuckin’ tool. I asked a simple and understandable question, cupcake. Go touch grass.

            Not my alt, you put a lot of faith in this nonsense poster. You postured like you believed it. If that came off as unclear to me then it’s an issue with your wording.
