Dem Fear Grows Over Massive Grassroots Fundraising Hit

[Independent thinker]

Uh oh. Democrats and Biden are in big trouble. People just aren't enthused about donating to the party. Guess they need to get out and tell people who can't afford groceries or their rents and convince these people just how great things actually are.



One of the best online fundraising days for Democrats this year was the day of Joe Biden’s campaign launch — but even that day’s haul was meager compared to his campaign kickoff four years ago.

That’s among the findings of an analysis of fundraising for the first half of the year through ActBlue, the party’s primary donation processor. Small-dollar giving at the federal level totaled $312 million in the first half of 2023 — a drop-off of more than $30 million compared to this point in the 2020 cycle. The platform also had 32 percent fewer donors in the second quarter this year compared to four years prior, although its total fundraising increased slightly due to several factors, including more recurring donors and greater giving to non-federal groups.

“Because small donors are a proxy for enthusiasm, if people aren’t concerned about the drop-off in contributions, then they just aren’t paying attention or whistling past the graveyard,” said Ari Rabin-Havt, who served as deputy campaign manager on Sen. Bernie Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign. “The impact is from top to bottom.

You don't need much funding when Democrats and RINO's want Pedo Joe to win.

Blah, union kickbacks from the infrastructure/omnibus bills should be plenty enough.

I think you are being a little unfair there. I don't know of any so called RINO's who want Biden to win.

And Trump is down to under $1 million.

On hos. They will have to pay senior campaign strategist Hunter Biden much less than anticpated to make sure BigGuy, LLC, still gets its agreed upon fee.

All those images of Hunter are taking a toll.... This is what I pointed out before. They don't necessarily convict him of anything but they do make Joe (deservedly or undeservadly beside the point ) really bad.

Do you have any proof that this pertains to 2024?

Do you have any proof that they did a 180 on their beliefs about Trump?

Great post.

There is no evidence of a "massive" result in Trump fund raising.

What makes you think they changed their opinions?
