Act blue is just a payment processor. I keep seeing people post about it idgi
It is basically an arm of the Democrat party, though.
If you're running a supposedly socialist party, probably not a great idea to freely give donor information to your enemies.
Plus they charge almost 33% more than a regular payment processor. The only advantage I see is that actBlue helps you send out donation emails.
They allow negotiations for competitive prices for non profits that is different than the list value.
A lot of people here donated to Bernie through ActBlue, myself included. Up until the election day, I've been getting spam from different dem candidates asking for donations.
It just feels slimy.
That's not bc of actblue. The Bernie campaign shared info with other progressives like AOC our revolution ect. Then they transfer your info around.
If they send me links to donate through ActBlue and ActBlue doesn't act to distance themselves from such behavior, I'm going to reasonably assume that ActBlue as an organization is okay with it.
What are you even saying. You send your info to the campaign they share it you blame the payment processor
You asked for reasoning for the general disdain and I'm trying to give you an explanation based on experiences others have described. When I see someone attached to ActBlue reach out to me, I think of passive aggressive texts urging me to donate to fight Trump.
Yea that's wack.
