Who would be dumb enough to give money to an internet org. that has a mission statement of “empower small-dollar donors”?! Wow, the Democrats are so brazen in their Clintonesque scams!

I had been under the impression that thread titles based on articles had to reflect the article’s title. Seems not the case with this thread. Seems like the OP simply wanted to call Nunes a nasty name and took the occasion to do it. The article itself says nothing about Nunes being a “mercenary”.

good catch Ridgerunner! did he just make up the thread title?

I inquired about that with the moderators some time ago. Titles that deviate from the article headline and spin the article were left unchanged. i preferred the old policy.

One could ask the same about Russian Facebook propaganda.

If folks are swayed, what does that say about their intelligence or commitment?
 
I thought my wife used Actblue to confirm her last pregnancy.

so have any of you used Actblue to make donations?
why doesn’t Actblue have to show the name of the person making the donation?

I’ve used it.

I suspect that it does have to disclose the source of donations. The reason it shows up on some websites as “ActBlue” is that they’re processing the credit card charge. But somewhere there’s a record of who’s donating how much to which candidates. There are pretty strict laws about that kind of thing (just ask Dinesh D’Souza how strict the laws are).

How is that a scam? Really, it’s just a way for people to make relatively small donations using a credit card. I’m much happier with that kind of money in the political system than with PACs and their anonymous money.

Remember Bernie Sanders and his oft-repeated claim that his average campaign donation was $27.00? That’s a very good thing for our political system.

Following up on this –

I would think we would all agree, Democrats, Republicans, Trump supporters, Sanders supporters, all of us, that removing big money from the electoral system and creating ways for people to contribute smaller amounts to the candidate of their choice is good.

Really – what’s your issue with this?
