Hopefully this post doesn’t go too much in politically territory but since one of the linked articles mentioned it I figured it would be okay. So far Drake has raised $17,733.56 including $3,605.14 Drake contributed himself. From a quick Google search to run for the seat Drake is running for one political party on average raises $108,513.51, while the other raises on average $37,424.07. On average overall a race would cost about $72,968.79. Also, if you look at Drake’s contributors via the link chazraps posted several of his supporters contributed multiple times. The one who contributed the most times unsurprisingly is Drake himself. It’s very early in the race so it’s kind of difficult to draw conclusions so far. Although the current holder of the same seat who is running for re-election has already raised $41,610.00. My bet would be Drake gets crushed.

Even if they were just doing it for that reason they need to have a proper think about what and who it is they’re financially supporting. It’s like if one of my mates stood as a far right candidate in an election, I’m probably going to reconsider my association with someone whose values are that warped, never mind give them money. There’s no excusing it, really. Just noticed, could one of the names thats made several donations be Necro Butcher? Yeah ole Dylan has some… unique views to be sure. I think shlak is into that far right bullshit as well. Shlak maintains that he isn’t, but he was friends with neo Nazis, and have a pretty limp non-apology when confronted on it. Again, he knew what they were about so he’s got no excuse.

Kinda like Conrad Thompson is super inclusive cool fat guy wrestling fan… who’s company donated to some campaigns of some super shitty politicians. But hey it’s okay because we all grow and change right? 🙄

My hope for some of these donations are they just donated to someone who they've been friends with for over a decade and not because they agree with his ideologies (Jimmy and Biff being thr main ones)

Drake's a good guy, he's only kidding about his support for mass executions!' 'Oh, he's ranting and screaming and helping to pass laws designed to hurt the people he's been clear he wants to hurt from day one, who could have known he'd do this?!' Jimmy and Biff know full well what he believes in, everyone does at this point. They knowingly gave him money to help him inflict those beliefs on the real world.

This is a small glimpse into a giant danger for international safety. People like Drake don't even share the common denominator that's showing to be quite effective against major aggressions.

I think the whole "inclusive" label thrown towards him stems from speaking out against the Charlottesville tiki torch riots and Alabama pedophile Roy Moore in that same time, but his weird boasting of things like "i've never even met a jewish person" and the casual Asian stereotypes he joked about regarding rumors of Jimmy Hart dating an Asian talent in WCW, just showed a lack of self-awareness to a degree nobody with his size platform should be stating.

You don't just casually follow fringes like they do without supporting ideologies.

Dude still says some pretty awful shit. It just bothers me because quite frankly I wouldn’t care about people and shit if they didn’t hide it. It’s one thing to believe something and defend it, it’s something much worse to believe something and hide it. If you aren’t willing to figuratively die for a belief, how strong is it?

So why follow them on social media, Biff, if you don’t agree with their beliefs?

I stand by my 'Biff's a bit of an idiot' statement.

Even if he didn’t know, it sort of begs the question of why he received a text asking for money and, despite not knowing what it was for, went “Alright then” and gave some.

He may have just figured Drake needed the money for living expenses given him torpedoing his own livelihood for no good reason.

Biff should have clarified if this request came from Drake or Drake's campaign. The fact that he didn't speaks volumes to me, frankly. Seems like someone playing defense.

It's certainly possible, though I also can't exactly say I am shocked if Drake's not exactly handling campaign finances on the level, either.

He says it wasn't from the campaign, and state-level campaign finance regulations are almost always a joke so I could 150% see Drake asking for money and using it for his campaign while not telling someone. Also, the only problematic follow I see on his IG is Rogan, he could have nuked the account but everything right now is weed, space, poker, and wrestling. Not saying that it isn't true, but there's not really evidence either way

It does now open the whole election fraud can of worms since I’m given to understand that what Wuertz has done here is very illegal.

It does now open the whole election fraud can of worms since I’m given to understand that what Wuertz has done here is very illegal. It isn't only election fraud (misreporting minor donations is a slap on the wrist usually), it is also potentially straight up wire fraud if Busick is telling the truth here.
