Investigation finds 'Progressive Champions PAC' is a GOP front
Popular Information reported that Progressive Champions PAC, created last month, is tied to House GOP super PACs including the Congressional Leadership Fund rather than grassroots progressive groups. Progressive Champions PAC’s website says its mission is to “elect bold, progressive candidates,” but the investigation found the PAC was formed alongside other sham “progressive” groups and shares organizers and funding channels with Republican operatives. Those GOP-seeded PACs aim to influence Democratic primaries by boosting weaker or easier-to-defeat nominees, a tactic that can change close House races and mislead donors and voters.
🧵 Fascinating article. It confirms what a lot of us have been saying for years...especially Black Women. There’s “progressive” PACs that are republican plants. So once again…if it looks like a republican & talks like a republican, it’s probably a republican. popular.info/p/progressiv...
Miss Aja98What’s super interesting to me is these “progressives” have been putting money into Maine and Texas. They seem to be backing the candidate with the most controversial history in the hopes of making them more beatable in November. Once again…we tried to tell folks but🤷🏾♀️
Brosephus33Folks gotta stop chasing the laser pointer and remain focused on the tasks at hand. Conservatives are doing everything they can to cement themselves in permanent control. Confirmation bias is fucking white people up left and right.
Lori Jean 🟦23Yes you have and my fellow skinfolk do NOT listen.
Edgeoforever🗽19Ever since Nader, “progressive” is a big red flag for me. (He was taking $ from Republicans too, btw)
The GenX Dad12This has been happening in Louisiana for 50 years. Republicans flood the zone with kooks, people with very similar names to front runners, etc several times the winner of the Dem primary drop out and the Republican wins.
Sara B7This is why I only donate directly to candidates.
Dave Robbins4Faux progressives sow discord by splitting coalitions. They amplify disagreements among moderates, liberals, and actual progressives, making internal divisions appear larger and more hostile than they are. As an example, they said Harris was "complicit in terrorism" and an agent of "imperialism".
Dave Robbins4Yes, you see them on here and other platforms constantly stoking discord. They stir up racism and sexism, claim that both parties are the same, and brand Democrats as supporters of genocide. They try to convince people not to vote or to vote for a third party in order to stand by their "principles."
Midatlantica3This is why in general it's always best to donate directly to candidates or the party (DNC, DCCC, etc...). PACs are lousy and the exceptions doing good work are few and far between.
Honor your oath of office or resign.3They do this all the time. Be careful to whom you give your money.
Cynthia The Baker2YES!!! Ok I’m feeling less insane right now.
elnoraoldschool.bsky.social2The way they fall for the bright shiny object candidate everytime needs to be studied. I will die on this hill .. The reason why the left and the right despise Black people is because we simply don't fall for the bright shiny object: Neither cause Not candidate They resent us for it😒😒
