Hard pass.

Breaking news: Constituents who live in California donate to Senator from California. Wow. Nefarious stuff. Great investigative journalism, .

'Californians donate to very popular Californian politician' Groundbreaking journalism, guys. 🙄

Yeah. They voted for her.

I guess constituents donate to campaign wasn’t a good enough headline to garner clicks.

They also happen to be constituents of California

What does she stand for? I want to like her but I haven't seen anything to differentiate her from the pack.

Oh Hollywood they give money but dont allow for proper representation in their gross industry. When the celebrities rallied for Obama I looked at their film history and thought wow their money is to cover their silence on whitewashing

Of course

welp.... Hillary 2.0?

Good reason not to vote for her

Well I guess she's one of the elites then. Establishment candidate with money from all the rich people.

Go Harris!

Nobody cares.

Weirdos supporting other weirdos. Lol.

so what who cares.
