If we buy merch from a political campaign, would that count as a political donation

Im aware as DACA recipients we can't donate to a politcal campaign, but can we get around that by buying a couple shirts, stickers, and coffee mugs?

No. Nope. You stay far away from that.

Thanks. I guess this is the relevant paragraph

"The entire amount paid to attend a political fundraiser or other political event or to purchase a fundraising item sold by a political committee is a contribution and counts against the individual’s contribution limit. For example, if a contributor pays $100 to buy a ticket to a fundraising dinner, the entire $100 is considered a contribution to the committee, even though the meal may have cost the committee $30. Similarly, if a contributor spends $20 to buy a campaign T-shirt that cost the campaign $5, the contributor has made a $20 contribution"

Oh well.

Just have a USC family member buy the stuff for you.

This is also illegal and it can get you into trouble if they find out. It can also damage the candidate you are trying to support cause then the opposition can be like

"Look illegals are supporting their campaign vote for me instead!"

Are they likely to find out, no, do you want to test your luck. You probably shouldnt.

Are we allowed to share political ads in our social media and put candidate pictures in our social media banners?

yes, we can do that but we cannot financially contribute


But then again, the chances of ever being found out is super mega rare but again why risk it. Just buy it second hand or used on ebay

You’re a USC so why worry? Fake ass DACA wanna be. Get a job.

Whats this? More baseless claims? What are you 2Face now lmao
