FOR DEMOCRAT CULTISTS, ELECTIONS ARE ALL ABOUT ENRICHING THEMSELVES...
The illusion of a sprawling grassroots movement, with its dozens of different PAC names, is not a diverse network of activists, but a concentrated ecosystem built to serve the firm at its center: Mothership Strategies. An examination of the money flowing through the Mothership network reveals a system designed not for political impact, but for enriching the consultants who operate it.
FEC disbursements reveal that, at most, $11 million of the $678 million raised from individuals has made its way to candidates, campaigns, or the national party committees. Of that total fundraising haul, $159 million was paid directly to Mothership Strategies for consulting fees. The remaining hundreds of millions disappeared into a maze of self-reported categories: $150 million to consulting/fundraising, $70 million to salaries and payroll.
This represents a fundraising efficiency rate of just 1.6 percent.
Here's what that number means: for every dollar a grandmother in Iowa donates, believing she's saving democracy, 98 cents go to consultants and operational costs. Just pennies reach actual campaigns.
