You’re telling untrue facts according to your own sources — to minimize that the second largest Dem donor was a criminal stealing customer funds. Your comparison to Repubs is unfounded as none of their donors engaged in organized crime like SBF.
Why are you spreading election misinformation?

Two, Fuck off. This is needlessly passive aggressive. There is no need to throw in a worst-faith assessment of my motivations for posting all of this.

Even if talking just about people who are later found to have acted improperly, look at the CEO of FTX Ryan D. Salame, one of the largest Republican donors.
Anyway you are justifying this destructive behavior with more destructive behavior? It's no wonder you don't take more time to understand these things.
The argument falls apart because two examples were quick to find? If all you can complain about is that it was too easy to find two examples to counteract the commenters clearly partisan and facetious claim then it sounds like you're grasping at straws.
Please enlighten us on how we should have spent more than 10 seconds to understand that there are actually no republican donors engaged in criminal activity and the commenter was just making a factual statement we obviously don't understand.
I want the lot of billionaire donors to have their and their company's finances and political involvement investigated and made transparent for the public. Keep them all accountable. But ofc SBF is worse than all the rest because of how bad his actions have been. The worst. But overall we shouldn't allow any one to have such outsized power. Don't make it legal to politically donate this much money to any one.
On the other hand, you appear to be excusing the Republican donor's. Your comments are saying "go after this visibly criminal (according to our justice system) Democrat. Focus on that! Ignore all the republican [and other Democratic] ones". Being as partisan as can be.
nobody9999 summarized my side perfectly as well.
I think the point was not whataboutism, but rather that the sewer of filthy lucre that we call "campaign finance," regardless of who gives/receives such funds, creates perverse incentives in the political system and should be discouraged/done away with.
That's not a partisan take IMHO.
