I can’t help but think that this whole framing and construction is slanted as hard as it can possibly be to make this sound like a bad thing
The combination of “time for many of us to stand up for the majority in the middle” to make people on the left suspicious, along with framing in terms of a wealthy donor “dropping” an honestly not all that large amount of money into “an election already awash” with dark money and “outside spending” to make people on the right suspicious, is honestly very well done.
