i think fundraising for politicians on fedi is a bit gauche when there are so many people in the #MutualAid hashtag who really need help
political parties full of billionaires with massive corporate donors don't need your contributions and a quarter million dollars is still absolutely nothing to them
trust me, that $20 is gonna mean more in the hands of the family struggling to put food on the table than it is for the presidential campaign of who-the-fuck-ever

while i'm at it i may as well chuck my own hat into the #MastodonForHarris #MutualAid ring
i'm currently unemployed and job searching and couch surfing. i'm an impoverished neurodivergent trans woman just trying to survive and find stability
if you enjoy seeing stuff about the memoir i'm writing, the work i've done with FediPact, the rad instances i've set up at cyberpunk.lol and cyberpunk.gay, the cool clothes i DIY together, my pirate radio station vantaradio, my awesome videos, my amazing selfies, or just my posting generally -- then know that your support helps me continue being able to exist and do all those things

people are posting mutual aid requests in the #MastodonForHarris tag because of me i'm so happy hell yeah
🥲

i think $250,000 would actually literally meet every single goal in the mutual aid hashtag going back like multiple years

yes this is somewhat a repost of an earlier today thread but i wanted to condense it and put it in the hashtags

⚠️ crowdfunding PSA ⚠️
FUN FACT: you can post your #MutualAid requests in the #MastodonForHarris hashtag to make sure they'll be seen by people who, apparently, have ludicrous oodles of money to burn. also it's praxis
EDIT: they have now moved to #Mastodon4Harris like with the number 4 instead of "for"
boosts appreciated :boostRequest:

i'm so happy i set the #MastodonForHarris hashtag on fire with mutual aid lmao
i think i've already said everything i wanted to say upthread. i'm just... appreciating the moment
visit vanta.cool today!!!!!
and the cherry on top is that the whole point of the #MastodonForHarris campaign was just... to get kamala to make a mastodon account??? y'all gotta understand how utterly pointless and "i hope senpai will notice me" that is
visit vanta.cool today!!!!!
but yeah it really speaks volumes how many more fucks people give about #MastodonForHarris -- which was, and i cannot stress this enough, a campaign merely to get her to create an account on this platform -- than they do helping anyone in the #MutualAid or #TransCrowdFund tags, which are constantly inundated with dire urgent requests

well-to-do folks don't HAVE TO spend their money on helping the less fortunate, as much as i'd encourage it
but you have to understand that publicly donating to a major political party that gets enormous sums of money from corporations is essentially just burning it and then acting like you did us all a favor
of course we're gonna feel bad when our needs struggle to be met meanwhile half of fedi is having a huge pointless bonfire with money that could've saved our asses and acting like they're actually solving literally anything. you seriously can't expect us to not be annoyed as fuck with that

honestly it's just fucking depressing
someone who already has more money than she could ever need fundraising $300,000 on here practically overnight
that's enough to fulfill the needs of every single mutual aid crowdfunding post i've ever seen on here stretching back several years
and yet so many of those remain unfunded. because people largely don't give a shit about the poor
and whatever amount ends up being raised for kamala will still just be a drop in the bucket compared to her gargantuan corporate donors
visit vanta.cool today!!!!!
i don't think kamala fucking harris needs your donations in order to feel invincible
given the scope of her backing by corporate donors no amount you could possibly raise will ever be anything more than a mere drop in the bucket
that money would do so much more good in the hands of someone from the #MutualAid or #TransCrowdFund hashtag struggling to afford the basic necessities of life
