This is the DCCC.

Your donation dollars at work.

Just to fact-check that statement, anyone know how to follow the money on “National Democratic Training Committee PAC” (https://traindemocrats.org, which is what train-dems.us resolves to)?

edit: easier than i thought,

Whois search at whois.us shows the registrar for training-dems.us is this guy:

It all ends up with the DCCC or gets directed by the DCCC.

You should be able to look it up, but its all a PAC shell game at this point.

<sarcasm?>lets make a PAC to send each and every donor to this PAC a spam</sarcasm?>

depends on what the spam contains; if it contains

  • a reference to the content of the text message that the OP received
  • a kindly worded paragraph describing how much we appreciate their political activism
  • a kindly worded paragraph explaining the dark patterns of politics (e.g., using psychological manipulation)
  • a kindly worded paragraph requesting that the donor write to their PAC and ask them to stop using their money for dark patterns
  • an offer for them to become an independent, White MAGA instead of Blue MAGA or Red MAGA
  • thank them again for their political activism

then probably not criminal
