Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

What they did is felony mail fraud, so yes. If postal police or the DOJ pursue it, they can absolutely be charged.

They real question is will they be charged?

To me the real question is, will everyone continue simply to pretend the system is legitimate, as though sustained by magic, despite consistent and robust failures?
