Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Absolutely not. The funds can go to Harris, because her name is on the campaign to which they were donated, or they can be refunded.

It sounds like it would be an official act, though.
Hmmm I stand corrected. Thanks
Bernie was able to redirect his funds to the DNC after he got shafted.
Do you have a source? Everything I’ve read states that campaign funds have very strict rules.
I thought you could use them for anything you wanted, up to and including paying hush money to a pornstar that you had very disappointing sex with, whilst your wife was at home with your newborn.
You can. You’ll just have to be willing to accept the inevitable conviction.
They do. The article you posted above actually discusses how the money can be transferred to a political party, with the caveat that there's a cap on how much can then be spent on a different candidate.

The other committees referenced are all Sanders related it should be noticed. There is likely some confusion relating to sanders transferring money to the DNC to cover his costs associated with his post-drop-out campaign activity to try to rally support behind the Democratic candidate.
