Comment on Why civilians don't crowdfund bribe money for politicians?

  1. You can already do this. There are tons of nonprofits that lobby the government for x, y, and z.
  2. But these non-profits don’t tend to engage in much explicit bribery, because the people working at these organizations and who donate to these organizations think outright bribery is wrong.
  3. Finally, if you started a gofundme to bribe a politician, they would 1,000,000% not take your money. When you bribe someone, discretion is part of the deal, and with a public gofundme, you’ve already broken that discretion.
