Can you describe what flaw you see with this analysis? Do you think spending millions on an electoral campaign is a good use of dues? A better use of millions of dollars than some other project?
Sure. First, image op makes a spurious claim about PSL use of funds, moving on without explaining where/why/how national elections is simply "a way for PSL to move money to the consultant class".
Then they admit their math is "far from perfect", but forge ahead anyway with the frankly ridiculous idea that the ratio of dollars to votes would somehow continue to hold true at scale.
The post does not say that. The post is talking about USAmerican elections in general being a way to move money to a consultant class.
Thank you for that clarification, you're right
Which consultants took PSL money? Can you name the firms or people that were paid? Or are you referring to printing costs or costs of running online ads?
Ask the person who the OP is about. I was merely correcting a misunderstanding.
