I'd be interested to know exactly which primaries he donated to. The two sides are not Democrat/Republican, it should be finally obvious to everyone else after these midterms that the sides are actually Trump Republicans vs Democrats+GOP.


Eh, all political parties have significant internal factionalism which isn't very well reported. That's why the US has primaries. It's just remarkable how well coalition discipline holds within the Republican party - any Republican will back any other Republican, at least in public.

It seems SBF was backing/bribing pro-crypto candidates.


I guess you have to be paying attention then, to see the splits. The Republican party right now is certainly not holding any sort of coalition. Liz Cheney, Murkowski, Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, and several others pretty much declared war on Trump based Republicans since 2020. They'd been opposing them long before, but they're finally out in the open about it. The democrat party also has it's own set of establishment Neocons that work to keep the populists in check. Which is why Bernie will never win a primary.
