Like a super PAC, which is shorthand for super political action committee, Our Revolution can raise unlimited sums from wealthy patrons that dwarf the limits faced by candidates and conventional PACs. Unlike a super PAC, however, the group doesnt have to disclose its donors a stream of revenue commonly referred to as dark money.

The campaign finance act says groups directly or indirectly established by federal officeholders or candidates cant solicit, receive, direct, transfer, or spend funds for federal electoral activity that exceeds the limitations, prohibitions, and reporting requirements of the law. Those limits are currently set at $2,800 for candidates and $5,000 for political action committees.

Our Revolution has taken in nearly $1 million from donors who gave more than the limits and whose identities it hasnt fully disclosed, according to tax filings for 2016, 2017 and 2018. Much of it came from those who contributed six-figure sums.

It wont have to publicly reveal its 2019 fundraising until after this years presidential election. And money it raises between now and then wont have to be disclosed until the following year.

Basically the whole thing. OR has raised $1mil over 3 years, Bernie has raised over $100m in this race. the dude raises $1 mil in a week, or in one night in some cases, yet we're supposed to believe that a "shady group" of wealthy individuals are donating to Bernie through a super PAC even though he has been quite clear that they themselves shouldn't exist? Get real bro.

Also comparing a super PAC to a 501c4 non profit is fucking nonsensical.

First you accused me of having bad "framing" and when I ask for specifics you say "basically the whole thing [article]" is wrong. Okay, guy. Bernie is taking dark money. Factually true. You can be as pissy as you want over Pete being right, but that doesn't change reality.

Except he's not and you're asserting that with no proof based off of an article you found in a twitter comment that you don't even fully understand.

Do you consider bundled donations from Nurses Union members "dark money"?

I can't tell just by reading the AP article. So long as no single donation or expense was greater than $5000 then it doesn't violate any laws. While donors are anonymous in some cases no donors are making more than 6 figures.

There's nothing logically or morally inconsistent with Our Revolution and Bernie Sanders' message.
