Who actually pays for the door knockers and full-time staff behind left-wing campaigns? On Fargo Talks, Cliff Maloney, CEO of Citizens Alliance, says it isn't the DNC.
Cliff walks through where he says the money comes from: groups like Indivisible, organizations under what he calls the Arabella umbrella, and left-wing mega donors, funded through 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) dollars that aren't disclosed. Then he gets into how Republicans have treated it for years, and where he stands on it now.
Cliff Maloney leads Citizens Alliance, a ground-game organization that recruits and trains paid door knockers. In the full conversation, Cliff and I get into how elections are actually won, why campaigns waste millions on advertising, and why real conversations at the door still matter.
What is dark money in politics? In this clip, Cliff describes it as political spending routed through 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) organizations that don't disclose their donors and have no contribution limit. He notes that 501(c)(3) gifts are tax-deductible and 501(c)(4) gifts are not.
Who funds left-wing door-knocking operations? According to Cliff, it isn't the DNC. He points to groups like Indivisible and organizations under the Arabella umbrella, backed by mega donors.
