Indians have also been proven to vote more reliably blue and are a marketable shade of brown, making them an ideal replacement for Hispanics as the pandering demographic of choice now that Hispanics are beginning to break as a monolith. The only drawback is that they’re an ocean away and emigrating to Europe or Australia is easier if you’re lower on the caste system.

Conversely,

My kid is in private school. 9/10 kids there are South Asian. They had some type of sing song event thing over Christmas where the kids got up and sang for all the parents. Christmas songs, non religious fun songs about cowboys and shit. Everything got polite applause and cooing from the moms.

The whole thing ended with a rendition of God Bless America and all of the Indian dads applauded enthusiastically.

Democrats see fundraising windfall after leaked Supreme Court draft opinion on Roe v. Wade​

Spoiler: Full Article

(article)

• Democrats and their affiliated outside groups have raised more than $5 million since a report unveiled a draft opinion by the Supreme Court that could lead to states having the ability to put restrictions on abortion.
• The donation website ActBlue processed the gargantuan total since Politico published the original report on Monday.
• Democrats are highlighting threats to abortion rights to raise money and boost voter enthusiasm ahead of the pivotal 2022 midterm elections.

Democrats and their affiliated outside groups have raised more than $5 million since a report first unveiled a leaked draft Supreme Court opinion that would overturn the historic Roe v. Wade ruling and allow states to restrict abortions.

The donation website ActBlue, which allows donors to contribute online to Democratic campaigns, political action committees and outside groups that often support the the party’s policy goals, processed the gargantuan sum since Politico published the draft opinion Monday. CNBC calculated the amount by watching the site’s live ticker since Tuesday morning and combining it with data made public through Twitter posts by Andrew Arenge, a director of operations at the Penn Program on Opinion Research and Election Studies.

Arenge tweeted out early Tuesday that “since about 9:40 PM last night (about an hour after Politico published their SCOTUS piece), Act Blue processed about $2.2M donations through their platform.” Arenge has tracked the fundraising totals since the original Politico story was published, he said in previous Twitter posts.

NARAL Pro-Choice America, a nonprofit that lobbies and advocates against abortion restrictions, uses ActBlue to raise money. The group, along with fellow pro-abortion rights groups Planned Parenthood Action Fund and Emily’s List, recently announced a $150 million combined investment into the 2022 midterm elections.

Democrats are highlighting threats to abortion rights to raise money and boost voter enthusiasm ahead of the pivotal 2022 midterm elections. The party risks losing its slight majorities in both the House and Senate, and since Politico published its story, Democratic leaders have called to elect more members of Congress who will vote to protect abortion rights.

Republican groups, on the other hand, have mostly focused on the unprecedented leak of the draft opinion — or not engaged on the subject at all.

Hours after the draft was leaked, the Democratic National Committee, the governing body for the party, sent out a text message to potential donors highlighting the document.

“News shows SCOTUS is set to overturn Roe. We must hold the GOP accountable for their attacks. Rush $15 to the DNC,” the fundraising text message reads, with a link to an ActBlue page encouraging donors to give to the committee. The DNC is also running ads on its Facebook page calling on donors to contribute to help protect abortion rights, according to the social media platform’s ad library.

The Republican National Committee, on the other hand, has not run a Facebook ad so far on either the draft decision or on the leak itself, the ad library says. In a tweet, RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel called President Joe Biden and Democrats “abortion extremists” and called for a probe into the person who leaked the document.

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts on Tuesday confirmed the authenticity of the leaked draft court opinion that would toss out the nearly 50-year-old Roe decision, but he noted that the court’s decision could change. Roberts ordered an investigation to find who leaked the document to the press.

A spokesman for ActBlue declined to comment. The DNC, the RNC and all the other groups mentioned in this story did not return requests for comment. WinRed, the Republican equivalent to ActBlue, did not return a request to comment on how much it has processed in donations since the Politico report was published.

Beyond the DNC, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the campaign arm for House Democrats, is also trying to muster support following the release of the draft opinion.

The DCCC has an active Facebook ad that began running on Tuesday, according to the ad library. It has a picture of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and former President Donald Trump with the question above the two leaders, “Who do you trust to defend abortion rights?” It then leads viewers to a poll where they can give their response.

The National Republican Congressional Committee, which campaigns for House Republican candidates, has not mentioned either the leak or the content of the draft decision on its Facebook page.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee — which backs GOP Senate candidates — put up a post on Tuesday trying to raise money off the leak itself.

“Democrats are trying to SCARE the Supreme Court into allowing LATE TERM abortions,” the post reads, with a link to a WinRed contribution page. The donation site says “A SCOTUS ruling on abortion was LEAKED so that Democrats can pass multiple items on their radical agenda!”

It is unclear now who leaked the draft opinion or what the person’s motivation was.

Mission accomplished.

Golly gee what a surprise. Looks like we've found our hook for what'll keep beautiful blue America bleeding blue until it's a dessicated corpse.

It's all a joke, the whole fucking thing. Burn it all down (in Mario 64).

 

[Kuritan Deplorable]

Oh boy, not only are they liquidating assets to fund this, but they're doing so going into a major period of economic instability, that could easily cripple their remaining assets. There is a distinct possibility of them legitimately going into the "I cannot liquidate anything else period" red. That would be fun to see the chaos play out from

5 Million is a windfall now? lmao.

5 Million is a windfall now? lmao.

Yeah idk, maybe I got desensitized by Elon’s $44 billion dickslap, but seriously, just $5 million?

 

[GuntPunt]

My God the salt flow, it's near infinite.

Trump is the one of the greatest president in American History just by the amount of well derserved asshurt he creates, even when out of office.

Also, $5 million is nothing unless they allocate it in one place. Please try Texas or Florida. You won't waste your money there!

The DNC must be even broker than I thought of they consider 5 million a windfall.

It's only Tuesday.

Also, Fed decision is tomorrow. We could know if/when the next recession begins.

Here’s Amit Jain, the (alleged) leaker whose goal was to force the hands of the justices by putting their lives in danger.

Summed up nicely here:


Here’s a website with some more background information. His history is nearly everything you’d expect:

>Previously worked as a public middle school teacher in Boston
>Worked with the Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project and taught with the Marshall Brenan Constitutional Literacy Project (an outfit founded by Jamie Raskin)
>Member of the Worker and Immigrant Rights Advocacy Clinic, the Juvenile Justice Clinic, and the Housing Clinic
>Spent summers interning with the Bronx Defenders and the Federal Defenders of New York

Looking at that face, I can just hear a nasal voice admonishing western supremacy, income inequality, toxic masculinity, and “white privilege.” Yuck.

Jesus. A forever alone incel that is doing the needful. Of course.

God, am I happy for this. This means the dems are focused and screeching about something most people view as a secondary issue for the next year or three. They'll be slaughtered for their myopic focus on this dumb shit.

I'm really looking forward to when they notice that its not tipping many scales on its own, and do their usual thing of trying to tie it into every other kind of oppression, so we're gonna have them screeching about trans birthing rights for minors, just really turn that groomer dial up to 11.

It's going to be really awkward for all the children of these screeching harpies on Mother's Day.

One of my cousins took her daughter to an abortion rights protest which I thought was absurdly tone deaf and inappropriate but she's an urban bug person.

5 Million is a windfall now? lmao.

That's not even enough for poster and lapel button coverage in six or eight major cities. Forget food and salaries for election workers.

Calm down, you're hysterical. I swear, you sound just like your mother.

 

[Snekposter]

Not sure on voting demographics, but rural Patels who own gas stations go redneck in approximately 1.5 generations. It's fairly funny.
I've always assumed you get so many shop owners because that's the class of Indians with enough money to leave, but not so much they want to stay.

I know bashing CivNats is popular on the Farms, but they do have a point. As long as you can keep enclaves from forming and force assimilation, they wind up as American as anyone else fast. I've personally witnessed an elderly Asian dude with a thick-ass Southern accent and boots buying a 32 of Natty Lite like it was no big deal.

It's only Tuesday.
