I'm not the person you were going back and forth with, but yeah. The person who set up the redirect could be a service provider, a friend/fan of the PAC, or some other form of third party. If you're curious enough about whether they're acting with the knowledge and blessing of the PAC, you could contact them and ask about OP's message and the shortlink. They would be able to provide more info rather than jumping to conclusions based on unsubstantiated claims of nation state influence operations.

PACs are not nation state entities, they're pipelines for corporations to fund election campaigns. They're a stain on the earth as a whole, that this PAC wants favorable outcomes doesn't change that.

The other person was suggesting that this is a GOP/China/Russia influence campaign, I'm suggesting that this is likely outreach funded by the PAC. Their scummy tactics and coercive language are no better than phishing and/or gift card scams
