    Paying for a politician to pay attention to you must be the most American thing I have ever seen. They should use fedivers because it is correct, if they don’t, they don’t deserve my money (I’m not from there so I personally wasn’t going to donate anything either)

      They might not know about the fediverse in the first place

        I can believe that she doesn’t know anything about fediverse, I can believe that her team doesn’t know anything about fediverse as a whole, but that neither she nor her team knows anything about Mastodon, no, I don’t believe that.

        I don’t know the whole of Europe, but I do know that in general the financing of politicians works very differently and it is not normal to donate money to a politician in the same way as there.

          I mean these donations dont go to kamala harris as a person either. They go to her campaign which then decides how to use them. I dont know what the restrictions are for how that money can be used but i would think that there are some.
