“Online donors poured a record $392 million into campaigns and causes via ActBlue in June, a sign of surging activism and political enthusiasm on the left that smashed the previous monthly high, from just before the 2018 election, by a whopping 50 percent,” Politico reports.

Biden got more of my available cash, but I gave to both when it came across my eyesight via Biden's campaign. I'm proud to a have had a tiny hand it this moment.

I'm trying to do it in ways which help give him the most press. When I know it matters most I blow my donation budget on him for that month.

Biden is using Obama's online strategy via donations this round. I admit I love seeing him implement that, it's a pretty piece of nostalgia for me. Text me, engage me with your message and make me feel necessary. Then, nudge me to signup to volunteer! I'm a sucker for volunteering for a campaign I believe in when pressed to stand up and do so.

regarding money. Because our small donations are beating their corporate big donor ones. They like to think that money talks and therefore it will beat us every time, but we’ve proved that when we’re united behind a candidate and especially when we’re united against one of theirs our individual small donations turn into that blue wave.

I was cheering for our side because they can’t hobble us when we become united. We give Citizens United a whole new meaning.
