According to this article, Biden is coordinating with superpacs: Campaign finance filings takeaways: Joe Biden is still in a financial hole, super PAC importance rising - CNNPolitics

"In an effort to amp up his fundraising, Biden and the DNC recently expanded a joint fundraising agreement to include more than two dozen state parties. The deal will allow major donors to give $620,600 to the Biden Victory Fund -- far exceeding the $2,800 maximum contribution that one can make directly to a candidate for the general election.
But spending by Democratic super PACs will be crucial in helping Biden bridge the cash gap with the Trump campaign, and Wednesday's filings underscored some of the challenges ahead."

Since it is against the law for campaign to coordinate with PAC's, how is this not a major election law violation?

Whatever, it'll just be a process crime. What's the big deal?
 
I love it when the first post decimates the OP!

Your message and the Democrat you quote only confirms total hypocrisy by both of you, nothing else - other than you both also are factually false.

The system is very ****ed up. The short answer is that they are allowed to coordinate many things, just not media strategy. The politician supposedly isn't allowed to tell the PAC "I want you to spend 5 million on advertising on this issue in this area" but it's legal for the candidate to tell them "I will throw my support behind this super PAC but I want you to follow these money raising guidelines etc".

Oh.

I forgot That if you just say it it's the gospel truth.

Oh, wait, no it isn't!

:lamo You don't know what "process crime" means, do you? :roll:

A process crime is an offense against the judicial process. These crimes include failure to appear, false statements, obstruction of justice, contempt of court and perjury.

But you are a cult follower of Joe Biden in your messages and agree when he said Democrats will not longer accept facts. If I posted like you, I would have replied that Biden is committing the crime of aggravated violent felony assault and treason since the definition of legal words means nothing to you.

The overwhelming majority of federal employees (i.e. the people who enforce the law) support Biden, therefore it's okay.
 
Probably...do we care about campaign finance violations? I thought that after Trump, we didn't really care about any of this.

Perhaps but there is a possible second violation using Biden's name in the name of the superpac.

Trump's greatest mistake was believing people in higher levels of government care about the country and laws - and would carry out his policies as subordinates as how democracy works - because in the private sector management is loyal to the company and follows the hierarchy of management. For this reason, unlike Obama, he didn't fire nearly every Obama appointee and who those appointees hired under Obama. The president has paid a terrible price for not realizing most people in upper government management are directly or indirectly appointed partisan hacks who only care about themselves, personal power and partisan politics over everything else.

The basic difference between private sector management and public sector management is that in the private sector managers are actually in charge and have control over personnel. Even if the President fired every person he's legally able to, 99.9% of the government would remain unmoved.
 
No to the OP

Yeah, I am a cult follower of Joe Biden. You should go check my posting history. I am not a fan of Joe Biden.
He wasn't even my 4th choice for nominee.
What's the problem though? Joe is just taking a page out of Trump's book. Is that what is bothering you?
Rhetorical, I don't care.

I should also add, since you asked. I called it a process crime because whenever someone from Trump's orbit got convicted or was accused of something it was "a process" crime, whether or not it was wasn't. I thought that is how we all were supposed to look at these things now?
Again, Rhetorical, I don't care.

That's false but maybe more important is that your defense of being wrong is "yeah, but I am just like those Republicans."

I wonder if a rapist pedophile could win a trial by claiming "Yeah, but I'm no different from other rapists." In your logic, Biden should go to prison like Republicans have for "process crimes."

Almost NO Democrat likes Biden, just like almost no Democrat liked Hilary. They voted as they were ordered to vote. That's how it works on the Democratic Party side - doing what you are ordered to do. But not for Republicans. $100 million dollars and all of the MSM - including FOX - couldn't get more than 6% of Republicans to vote for "Jeb!"

Most Republicans are independent thinkers and will not hesitate to rebel against authority - even their own authorities. Not Democrats. Democrats turn on CNN and MSNBC and like zombies say "Yes Master!"

That is exactly what happened to Elizabeth Warren. She was the Harvard darling and the primary her's to win - UNTIL she said she would break up Amazon and Google as the largest monopolies in US history. INSTANTLY, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC and NBC made their top story that "Warren is too radical!" Cooper called her too radical. Maddow ranted she is too radical. So did the NYT, LAT, every newspaper. That was the story day and night: "Warren is too radical, Warren is too radical, Warren is too radical, Warren is too radical - a hundred thousand times saying "Elizabeth Warren is too radical!!!!!"

I completely agreed with her - and said so dozens of times on the forum, was saying this on the forum long before her. But the minute I heard she had attack specifically the wealthiest and powerful people and corporations on earth, I knew this was the end of her campaign, because I know how 100% submissive zombies most Democrats are. It would not have worked on the Republican side - because "TOO RADICAL" including by FOX for MONTHS failed towards Trump.

Immediately she crashed in the polls and that was the end of her fundraising. Democratic politicians can pointlessly and generically rant against the rich - but dare never name any nor every actually propose anything that doesn't benefit the super rich. For example, the Democratic candidates ALL promised they would have the federal government paying all healthcare costs of their employees so they don't have to, will pay for the college educations of the kids of the super rich, and will supplement the wages of the employees of the super rich so they don't have to pay a decent wage.

But actually say ANYTHING specific against the richest corporations on earth? TOO RADICAL!!!! And Democratic voters did as told.

This left Sanders. TOO RADICAL! TOO RADICAL! TOO RADICAL!!! But Sanders supporters are loyal and nobody really wanted Biden, who couldn't get 1% the crowds Sanders could. That was easy to solve. OMG! Covid-19!!!! NOTHING can be on the MSM but covid-19 24/7 - every day. Every night. Every week. Now every month.

Sanders actually was barely behind Biden if not counting the super-delegate DNC cheating method. But via covid-19 they totally silenced Sanders to non-existence. Holding rallies was outlawed. There was never 1 minute available to even mention him on TV. Just covid-19 - every second of every day. Thus, they not only killed Sander's campaign, they so slaughtered his gaining delegates they made him irrelevant at the DNC convention.

But everything I just posted you can't even think of, because it is heresy against your TV actor propagandists of the super rich who own their television network - literally own it. The actor/commentators are nothing but their employees and PR agents. You are going to vote however CNN and MSNBC tell you. You will think, say, support anything they tell you to and oppose anything they tell you to. That's what nearly all Democrats do - take their orders from the television stations of the richest people and corporations.

It NEVER mattered who you wanted to win the Democratic primary. It was never your decision.

Do you have an indictment? Even an investigation? Or just your opinion?

The criminal indictment of Joe Biden is in the file of criminal indictments against President Trump.

Trump committed two constitutional crimes and was impeached for it
