What if being part of the club means gaining access to the dominion machines? Have you ever wondered why it costs 25 million dollars to run for a Senate seat? Do they have an auction as to who gets the thumb on the scale? Do competing vendors put the thumb on the scale for competing candidates and what comes out is who cumulatively cheated the most? How do Maxine, Shelia, and Frederica keep getting elected cycle after cycle? How did NY vote themselves into hard core Stalinism with their little tin pot Mussolini wannabe and the fake name commie in NYC.
The campaign funding scam:
Build a war chest.
Run for office.
Get elected.
Immediately file to run again.
Increase the war chest.
Get elected.
File again.
Increase the war chest.
Need a new suit? Campaign expense.
Hungry? Expense French Laundry to campaign.
And on and on...
When you pull down the paycheck, that goes straight to investments (inside info...) or capital ventures with kick-backs...that go to your campaign funds.
