2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThe following groups or people are committing fraud by asking for donations to further the cause.
Black Lives Matter (Really, how many protests and actions have you heard about in the MSM lately? And most heartbreakingly relevant, how many deaths have you heard about. They keep piling up but MSM has pretty much stopped reporting about the killings and the protests.)
Democracy Spring (Big money out of politics and a restoration of voting rights...over 1400 people were arrested in DC. The MSM barely reported)
DeRay McKesson ran a great campaign for mayor of Baltimore and lost. He is out but not down. If I continue to donate to campaign zero, I am donating to a fraud?

(10,515 posts)Sorry, I don't know anything about the McKesson situation.
But your post is helpful in pointing toward the fact that BLM got lots of coverage so long as they were challenging Bernie. That just happened to fit the pro-Hilary script perfectly.

(9,527 posts)then no it's not fraud. Given that Sanders isn't taking his donations and making a Scrooge McDuck style swimming pool of gold coins, that's not fraud either.
Clinton certainly asked for help paying off her 2008 campaign debt after suspending her campaign.
