Then these donations are listed as small donations by other people. Perhaps someone like the grandfather described above, or someone who hasn't donated at all.
Take a $100,000 donation or million dollar donation and list it as a bunch of $2 donations from thousands of people, some of them on a weekly or monthly basis.

There is zero proof of this. And ActBlue is merely a payment processing platform and database. The individual campaigns and PACs are the ones who have to comply with state, federal and local election laws.

Oh, and I bet you have no issue with the new millionaires club created by the Trumps over the weekend or the Trump meme-coin that has reaped in 9-10 figures of graft for the president.

Whole bunch of executives at ActBlue have left recently.

Better get their passports before they try to flee accountability.

You can be sure that Mr. Miller is thinking about this. He's the Heinrich Himmler of the current regime.

If only democrats had taken this stance the last four years, this wouldn’t be happening. They were warned repeatedly that lawfare against Trump would bring backlash.

Oh well.

Ouch.

He could have avoided a lot of it by not being a lawbreaking douche, but I think that’s was a bridge too far.

I had to unwind my father-in-law from ActBlue after his death. What I found felt like it crossed the line into exploitation of the elderly. The terrifying texts and emails, the ease of setting up recurring donations, the impossibility of stopping those: in looking through everything, it was clear to me that the organization knew they’d found a mark in a sweet old vulnerable man, and they were relentless. They extracted thousands from him, money he needed.

I’m sure the Trump platform is as bad, but I don’t think there are going to be a lot of people other than extreme Democratic partisans upset by this.

We had a similar experience with my dad several years ago. I even posted about it in the elder care forum (would have been around july 2022.) Almost $100,000 over the course of about 6 months.

That is the allegation of its adversary. Nothing has proven that true. And the focus should be on all campaign and fundraising platforms.

I've seen people on Twiiter listing their own donations, saying they never made them.

Well if a rando on twitter says it, it must be true

Right?

If there is any source to take seriously it’s a white supremacist social media site filled with bots and run at the whim of one of the most horrible people on Earth.
