According to the tax statement, the Omidyar Network has contributed a total of $400,000 to American Compass since 2020. (In reality, Omidyar has donated $500,000, including forthcoming installments.) The Hewlett Foundation—a longtime supporter of National Public Radio—has accounted for more than one-third of American Compass’ total public support, giving a combined $1,486,000 over the same period, with an extra $475,000 dose this January.

That’s more than Hewlett gave to NPR or the Planned Parenthood Federation of America in the same timeframe.

The donations are striking because American Compass is a partner organization in Project 2025, a controversial right-wing think tank that has been building the policy and personnel firmament for a second Trump administration.

But y'know, you gotta vote for the "lesser evil", regardless of the lesser evil's tactics, regardless of where the lesser evil spends their money, regardless of who the lesser evil genocides in their homes-- you just gotta voot, and voot bloo, no matter whoooo 🙄

If you really believe that, I have a stolen-and-settled bridge in Kansas to sell you. They're on the same fucking team, just playing a never-ending 'good cop, bad cop' routine-- and honestly, ever since y'all first started boiling the choices down to "support the segregationist cracker who penned the original pipeline Crime Bill of '94" or "support a literal reality show host", that was when I started fighting the greater evil.

Amerika is that greater evil. You will never put up an even decent candidate. There will always be a legacy of racism, of genocide, of chauvinist exceptionalism, of western capitalism. No matter what color tie the cracker bastard wears, they will always be the greater evil that deserves to be fought, tooth and nail.

Cracker ass.
