    How idiotic. Donations to the campaign were made to the Biden-Harris campaign, not just to Biden. Biden dropped out so now it’s the Harris campaign until she picks a running mate. I hope this gets kicked out as a frivolous complaint.

    Although Biden’s heir apparent, Harris is not yet the Democratic presidential nominee. The Trump campaign said that until she is the nominee, contributions made to Biden should not be rolled over to the vice president.

    Um, Biden wasn’t the nominee yet either.

      Yeah, its a nothing burger before it ever started and pod-saved were doofusses for even suggesting this was something to wring hands about, but I guess you gotta get clicks or something.

      Even if they this was something to worry about, what would the consequences be?

      All the money goes into a PAC and now EVERYONE who was already at their limit for campaign finance can donate AGAIN?

      You just doubled Harris’s fundraising potential. Pod saved have interesting credentials, but that doesn’t mean they know what they are talking about.

          Throw away comment for a throw away perspective.

          If you were calling Biden as a bad candidate/ not being the candidate a 10 months ago, your opinion carry weight (modifier 1).

          If you were making that call 5 months ago, you get a 0.5 modifier.

          If you didn’t figure this shit out till the debate, you get a zero modifer to your opinion: in other words, we should ignore you.

          If you still carried on past the debate. Bruh.

          Pod saved is that nice, safe for white people, boilled over neo-liberalism of the Obama years. It you feel like they are in charge but still hip enough to be cool. They were months late in getting this right. The eventually got it right, but like, way fucking late.

          0.15 modifier.
