(4,932 posts)Thank you generous DU donor!
My husband and I have been planning our political donations for the upcoming cycle. While our donations will be considerably smaller, we are being very strategic.
Thanks again! We thank you, our democratic principles (big and small D) thank you and future generations thank you.

(94,889 posts)I understand the appeal; but politics is a matter of priorities. Ossoff won't be up for re-election until 2026. There are elections NOW that $4,000 could be applied to.

(8,956 posts)You do raise a consideration, however. We simply don't know the donor's intent nor the full extent of the donor's largesse in the broader context.

'Penny wise, pound foolish' I think is the t-shirt slogan.

that is very generous. Once on ActBlue I accidentally tipped 50 dollars on a 10 dollar donation, which is why i brought up the possibiltiy of it being an accident!

The two senators will use it as they see fit. $4,000 is over the single donation limit. So it will get split up between cycles.

Fair Fight is a different story.
The person is indeed very generous.
