PARTY OF CORRUPTION: GET RICH QUICK DEMOCRAT STACEY ABRAMS
https://mexicanoccupation.blogspot.com/2022/05/party-of-corruption-and-money-just-kept.html
Elected Democrats now have no interest in the average voter because that's not whom they work for. It's the big money foundations and the armies of their paid activists. They are the ones doing the all the ballot-harvesting that is finally being exposed in the 2000 Mules documentary. They are the ones who can hand a presidential nomination to an Obama, a mansion to a BLM leader, or make a failure like Stacey Abrams very rich.
Are We There Yet?

Liberal Dark Money Group Bankrolled by Foreign Billionaire Gave Millions to Stacey Abrams’s Voting Nonprofit
A liberal dark money group bankrolled by a foreign billionaire gave millions of dollars to failed gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams's effort to overhaul America's voting laws.
Sacramento-based dark money group Fund for a Better Future in 2020 gave more than $3 million to Abrams's Fair Fight Action, its tax forms show. Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss is by far Fund for a Better Future's top donor—his advocacy group, Berger Action Fund, gave the dark money group more than $45 million from 2016 to 2020.
The sizable contribution marks yet another attempt from Wyss to meddle in America's elections. Abrams's Fair Fight has spent big on ads urging Congress to pass the For the People Act, Democrats' massive election overhaul bill that would give the federal government unprecedented power to control American voting. Wyss has also contributed millions of dollars to redraw electoral maps in Democrats' favor and lobby for the Biden administration's alternative energy initiatives.
Fund for a Better Future's generous support of Fair Fight also gives Wyss a back-door way to earn favor and influence with Abrams, who is running for governor of Georgia against Republican incumbent Brian Kemp. Foreign nationals cannot contribute to U.S. political candidates but can fund nonprofit organizations. Wyss in 2014 revealed he only carries a Swiss passport and does not have a U.S. green card. In a 2021 SEC filing, Wyss called himself a "citizen of Switzerland."
At least one watchdog group believes Wyss's liberal philanthropy violates U.S. law. In May 2021, Americans for Public Trust filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission alleging that Wyss "indirectly funded federal electoral advocacy through his nonprofit organizations." Wyss has contributed tens of millions of dollars to liberal dark money groups that help elect Democrats—U.S. law, the complaint notes, "prohibits foreign nationals from making contributions to political committees whether directly or indirectly."
"The intended recipient of these funds was ultimately a variety of organizations whose primary purpose is to engage in electoral advocacy," the complaint states. The FEC has failed to act on that complaint over the last year, prompting Americans for Public Trust in April to sue the federal agency in search of a decision.
"Until the FEC takes action, we won't know the full extent of [Wyss's] foreign interference in our electoral process," Americans for Public Trust executive director Caitlin Sutherland said in a statement.
In addition to his lavish liberal advocacy spending, Wyss sits on the board of the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank. He has donated hundreds of millions of dollars to left-wing groups over the last two decades.

Stacey Abrams Net Worth Up 3,000% Since Losing Election
Failed candidate was in debt 3 years ago, now worth more than $3 million
Democratic Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams has cashed in big following her failed 2018 bid for governor.
Abrams's net worth is now $3.17 million, according to the Associated Press—about 3,000 percent more than her net worth of $109,000 when she first ran. Her multimillionaire status comes after years of media appearances, speeches, and books, many of which have focused on alleged threats to the democratic process. She has never conceded her defeat in the 2018 race, saying instead the election was "stolen" through "voter suppression."
Abrams made more than $3 million in 2021 alone, delivering 37 paid speeches. Many focused on Republican-led voting legislation passed in the wake of the 2020 election, which she has also decried as "voter suppression." She reported no income from her organization, Fair Fight Action, which she founded after her failed gubernatorial bid.
In a statement to the AP, Abrams accused Republicans of having "demonized" her achievements.
"It is remarkable to me that success is now being demonized by the Republicans," Abrams said. "I believe in success. I believe that every person should have the opportunity to thrive. And because I had three years where I was in the private sector, I leveraged all three years, and in that time, I've done my best to not only be successful personally, but to do what I can to help Georgians."
Abrams's efforts at self-promotion have at times had her contradicting herself. In April, she led a coalition of activists in fierce opposition to new voting ID legislation, only to reverse her position two months later. She also waged an aggressive lobbying campaign to be Biden's 2020 running mate, citing her "strong history of executive and management experience" and foreign affairs expertise through "25 years in independent study of foreign policy." In January, Abrams embarked on an ambitious media rebrand to reinvent herself as a pragmatic moderate ahead of the 2022 election.
During the 2018 election, Abrams owed $54,000 to the IRS and had $96,000 in student loan debt and $83,000 in credit card debt—all of which was paid off by the end of 2019.
