Progressive Turnout Project, the organization Crooks donated to, racks up millions in small-dollar donations, but The Washington Post reported in 2019 on criticism of the group for its aggressive and at times misleading fundraising tactics. The group’s executive director acknowledged that the fundraising emails can be “provocative or alarming” but defended the approach to The Post because “we are in a frightening time in our country.”
On August 1, people who had given money to the Democratic presidential ticket began getting ominous messages suggesting their identities may have been stolen. Some received texts from an unknown sender asking them to confirm recent donations. Others told Mother Jones that they received emails warning that their donations had been “flagged” and asking them to click a box to “verify” that they had really contributed the money—or to click “no” if they did not recall doing so.
The recipients of these messages have something in common: they’re listed in federal campaign filings as having donated to Joe Biden or Kamala Harris using ActBlue, a ubiquitous online platform that makes it simple to contribute to a vast array of Democratic candidates and liberal causes. ActBlue, a non-profit, has become central to Democrats’ grassroots fundraising efforts. For years, Republicans struggled to emulate its success.
Is this the same ActBlue that tricked the Trump shooter into ‘donating’?
Struggling to understand your point here
ActBlue acting shady.
What you quoted here doesn’t explain why or how any of that happened or who did it
OP’s article is about actblue
And the guy I’m responding to is talking about “The Progressive Turnout Project”
ActBlue is just the middleman. It’s basically PayPal for political donations.
