Yeah. I hesitated a little to post the story because to me ActBlue belongs more to the problem set than the solution set. It’s also very weird that this article brags about all their success level, which against the current backdrop of events presumably means that they are bad at winning elections but good at raising money, which should not be the metric.
I do think it’s pretty newsworthy that they are struggling, not because they’re an integral part of an apparatus which doesn’t give a shit about working people and keeps losing elections as a result, but because the legal structures of the country are being weaponized against them. That’s definitely not going to decrease the power or influence of the donor class. But also, you’re not wrong.
Not pushing candidates owned by the donor class would increase turnout.
