Yes, there's plenty of time to think about, discuss, and debate whether or not it will work, whether or not the goal is met. My point was that Robert's "you have till 7/4 to let us know if it will work or not" was just as ridiculous as his earlier claim that discussing how the money will be used and whether or not it will work is "explaining why one should do nothing". And you don't even need to read the reddit ama. You can infer that the supporters and advocates are not simply going to throw up their hands and go home if the goal isn't met.
Further, as has been pointed out, $5M or even $100M probably won't make much of a dent. So, I'm with Steve on this one. The PAC is not solely about getting people elected and holding them accountable. It's also about raising the issue in our minds and, thereby, forcing it on whatever representatives happen to be elected ... and I think _that's_ where the magic is.
