Just donated to the Bernie campaign. I realized it's a bit hypocritical for me to act all excited and everything when I haven't been contributing in any way. Obviously it's not a big deal, but it's better than nothing.

Is that legal?

...

I haven't seen anything that would suggest otherwise. Should I be worried?!?

I assume you're not a US citizen. Unless you hold a green card (do you?) you're going to get Bernie sent to jail for campaign finance violations.

Seriously though, can I get in trouble? No, I don't have a green card.

I don't know. Most likely there won't be any consequences for you but the FEC's already investigating the Sanders campaign for accepting illegal foreign donations - you should definitely contact the campaign and explain so they can cancel your donation.

Obviously they're not actually going to go after you for donating $20 or whatever but, yeah, contact the Sanders camp and get a refund to be on the safe side.

Campaigning would afaik technically count as an 'in kind' donation and would technically be illegal but in practice no one would care, yes.

Hilariously, you could donate to Bernie's Super PAC, I think.

I'm being followed by a bunch of dudes with Hayek avatars on Twitter after drunk-tweeting abuse at some communist idiot a few weeks back. #atlasproblems

In all seriousness a thread to help investigate disappearances would be good - I'm slightly worried about people like Californiadreaming, evergreen, and CXSmith as well (although Classic can very easily confirm than Smith is alright)

That's crazy and terrifying, what the hell

If I disappear suddenly please assume I am lying dead in an abandoned warehouse on the docks.
