Its shitty to benefit from abhorrent behavior, even indirectly. And you dont want even a whiff of the slightest appearance that youre beholden to or appreciative of a slimeball. Dont want your constituents thinking will this candidate protect me or protect that rich dirtbag donor?. Its about dismantling the relationship.
In a some cases, people return the donation to a relevant non-profit. In this case, some people returned Weinstein money to domestic violence shelters and the like.
But yeah. The whole concept is kind of messy so I dont personally scorn anyone who doesnt return a donation. Always struck me as more optics than substance.
'We are a charity. Donations, these included, have been spent fighting childhood obesity and HIV/AIDS, combating climate change, and empowering girls and women, and we have no plans to return them'
Trolling is like their official party platform now. They morphed from whatever the hell "Morning in America" and "compassionate conservatism" was about to "u mad, libtard cuck fag? Lol."
I'm sure the party's forebears are just brimming with pride.
The Pre-Nixon Republicans are spinning in their graves, but i'm sure the man himself is quite proud. The pettiness, the paranoia, the willingness to look the other way on any crime their side commits. Does a poor boy from La Habra proud.
I'm assuming they spent too much time working on that one and had to throw 6 more on at the last second. I'm not even sure most of the others qualify as jokes
