you are being intentionally obtuse. there is obviously a difference between a t shirt vendor and 1/2 of a duopoly on online payments. the other of which also (coincidentally in your view) took the same measures to restrict people from using their services at the exact same time with no realistic alternative

Except there isn't a duopoly in online payments. In fact, Stripe is just one of many (and not anywhere near the largest) payment processors[0].

Why must it be through an online payment processor?

My bank will send payments for me. And I can write a check and mail it to whoever I want.

good luck starting an eccommerce business where everyone has to write you a money order. oh and you can't use amazon, ebay, or shopify either

you don't really believe what you're saying do you? that's like telling blacklisted hollywood writers and actors that they can make their own plays in their backyards

But we're not talking about an e-commerce business are we?

We're talking about a candidate's campaign fundraising operation. Which is odd in and of itself, because as far as I know that candidate isn't actually running for any office.

You've moved the goalposts far enough, haven't you?
