Who even knew there was such a thing...

AI Super PACs have started directing significant resources toward candidates in both major parties as the 2026 election cycle advances. These groups combine artificial intelligence tools with traditional political action committee structures to identify targets and deliver funds. The development matters because it introduces a new layer of outside spending that candidates from either side have shown willingness to accept.
The broader context involves ongoing debates over campaign finance rules and the growing role of technology firms in elections. Super PACs already operate with few limits on contributions, and AI capabilities add speed and precision to targeting. 
Critics - like me, the poor schmuck without a big purse or even a voice in things besides my singular vote - argue this setup amplifies the voice of wealthy tech interests while candidates face pressure to accept the money to remain competitive.
The cartoon argues that AI Super PACs are successfully appealing to politicians regardless of party affiliation. By depicting a single figure blending both parties reaching for the offered funds, it underscores how financial incentives can bridge traditional divides. The piece suggests candidates prioritize access to resources over maintaining distance from new tech-driven donors.

  1. Prosecutor of Trump, Jack Smith was investigating poor schmucks for donations as small as 5 and 10 dollars. But big donors are exempt because of PACS. Another scam on us.
