Gofundme is literally capitalism's answer to charity

Why push for socialism when you can just post your financial woes on gofundme? I've seen people fund the most ridiculous charities on there. People on there literally just ask for money to do random shit [i]and people actually fund this shit[/i]! Why is the left even still complaining about wealth distribution? Make a page and get yourself some free money!

    Because there's no guarantee and it operates on the naive assumption that everybody is generous and kind. Let's test your theory. Let's assume that all 1,600,000 people who will be diagnosed with cancer this year create a "Pay My Medical Bills" post on gofundme.com. Do you really think everybody would be generous to help all 1,600,000 with cancer? And that's just cancer! There are many other very expensive diseases out there.

      • The question is: Why hasn't an average person used this to fund a presidential campaign? If Trump can win a federal election, what's stopping a regular person from running a successful campaign?

        • I've seen people asking for money for college and even rent. It's kind of sad really...
