    Why is "this post" any different than any other post Starlight has posted? And, who, exactly, takes Starlight seriously at all?
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        Maybe donations you make to your church and other non-profit could be anonymous, but politicians must be held accountable to how they receive their money and how they spend it.
        I think anyone donating $10K goes on a public record whereas those who contribute $5, $10 or $20 don't. It also seems he was fairly open about it.

          Which is why some seek to use others to make donations through. Some have used relatives, other employees, and some are so brazen as to use a bunch of Buddhist monks who have taken a vow of poverty to funnel $5000/person through.

                  Watching him impotently sputter in response is a dead give away that he can not think of anything to say to refute what I posted.

                    There were actual points made to be refuted? I admit I didn't get to the end cos it was boring and about Libertarians bashing Trumpists and while I support the crazies having circular firing squads it wasn't particularly interesting.
                    "I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
                    "Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell
                    "[Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy" - Albert Einstein

                      Why would you want your own party having circular firing squads?
