I've been using ActBlue all along and have had questions about them. This time they trapped me in a webpage or popup that I could get out of only by closing my browser, and they did it twice. The first time was when they recognized my email address and popped up a little "Express Pay" tag which I foolishly clicked on only to find myself trapped on a page with darkened background and blurred, inaccessible tabs, no "close window," so the only way out was closing the browser. The second time had something to do with my refusing to give ActBlue a tip (by then I was too rattled to focus on details).
I hate them. I've been giving monthly amounts to Bernie in two installments since last June and for the longest time one of them showed up on my credit card notification as "ACTBLUE*DONATETODEMS" while the other showed up as ""ACTBLUE*BERNIE.SANDERS."
Okay, I just got a payment alert that says I donated tonight to "PAYPAL *ACTBLUE" Why doesn't it say "Bernie Sanders?"
How am I to know this money is going to Bernie's campaign? What the hell is ActBlue doing? I don't trust them anymore.
I would puke if any of my money went to either the DNC or that other candidate to whom I would never give a cent under any circumstance. Am pretty sure I've saved all the credit card alerts. Guess I'll contact the campaign and see how much money they've received from me.
