@dauphin87 hope that is a factor in her polling. Would be fun to see an unexpected blue tidal wave.
@dauphin87 Forward Blue is a legit voter registration and funding PAC.
@dauphin87 yeah I'm pretty sure act blue list serve got stolen
@dauphin87 I get aot of junk email/text via things that pretend to be Democrat adjacent.
It makes me wonder how much it happens to the other side, but then again, they are willingly getting scammed by the reich wing & trump all day every dang day.
@dauphin87 Everyone in our house got those within a few minutes of each other yesterday - the one about "We've asked you SIX TIMES".
What the fuck is that rudeness about?
@AskTheDevil @dauphin87 I got that the other day. I texted back “how rude” and promptly blocked the number. Probably shouldn’t have texted back but 🤷🏼♀️
What I found online:
Forward Blue is associated to Switchboard, which is a firm that creates software/data tools to assist with fundraising for political parties.
Scam Detector rates FB at 61.5/100, notably saying “The algorithm detected potential activity related to phishing, spamming, and other factors…” Commenters reported requests for donations with 400% or 500% donation matching. That alone is suspect.
I won’t be donating to them.
Donate directly to the campaign of the candidate from their official campaign site.
I was so pissed when I discovered that my "use them as you need them" donations got sent to Hail Mary candidates I could have spit.
@dauphin87
Never ever.
I signed up for auto pay contributions the day she announced her candidacy.
No matter how many bogus requests I get, I block
