You are in the Biden 2020 Group. Only members who have selected Joe Biden as their preferred Democratic presidential candidate are permitted to post in this Group.
DU has an ActBlue Biden link for making campaign donations:
It was set up by OmahaSteve but I don't think he can post in here, or in the old Biden group as it's been archived:

8. ActBlue doesn't skim ANYTHING
I have raised over $100,000 for dozens of candidates on ActBlue BTW.
Only the bank charge for the transaction is lost. That is why CANDIDATES use ActBlue to begin with. ActBlue does ask for an OPTIONAL tip.
I think it is a forgone conclusion Joe will be announcing soon. Why else is he the #2 choice on DU of those that have bothered to pick a candidate over in DP? Like other POTUS candidates he will use ActBlue too!

I'd wondered too, but duforJoe seems to route directly to the Biden campaign, just as Steve says.
Go Joe!
This is a good day to be extravagant !
Does EVERY Dem get donations through ActBlue? I've donated to Inslee and Pete and I think Beto and they all went through ActBlue. I'm happy to do it because not sure I'd actually get around to giving them a tip on my own, and they deserve it.
