When you list your employer as none of your damn business etc., that can become a flagged (illegal according to some with a certain view) donation. Yes a few of the 1,612 donations as of this post through DU for Bernie donations were flagged. The sky is falling.

1. Admit it, Steve. Bernie is in the pocket...

...of the average American.

2. And Big... Nursing.

3. One of the many reasons I don't donate through the DU link.

I don't need DUers knowing my name or where I work.

[Wilms]

4. You donate with your user name??

I'm trying to make some sense out of what you just wrote.

[Starry Messenger]

6. I donate using another method, not ActBlue.

I'm not sure how that was unclear.

[Wilms]

8. Please, everybody. Look at this sub-thread.

Now you have ZERO reasons to wonder how anyone can support HRC. It's the (il)logic, stupid.

[Starry Messenger]

9. Is there something wrong with you?

You asked a question with an obvious answer, and I helped you out anyway. Plonk. SO, ON TO THE PERSONAL ATTACKS, because we know no other way, I guess, Wilms?

Edit to add: and I am totally not surprised illegal donations came through the DU link.

[Wilms]

10. Read what I wrote slowly.

Perhaps a friend can help you understand the question. Does DU or Act Blue require you to list your DU User Name when donating through ActBlue?? No. So how would anyone attach your real name to your DU name???

Duh!

[Starry Messenger]

11. Oh for god's sake.

I don't want my real name on something like that, whether someone attaches it to my screen name or not. See, that wasn't so hard, was it?

[Wilms]

12. That it not what you said.

Weathervaniancs, all.

[Starry Messenger]

13. Yeah, it is.

Sorry you misunderstood. Have a better day.

[obamanut2012]

14. That is exacty what she said

And wtf with the personal attacks? Seriously?

[Wilms]

15. Really?

One of the many reasons I don't donate through the DU link.

I don't need DUers knowing my name or where I work.

You tell me how someone is going to figure out a user name from that?

And it's not a personal attack. It's an observation about the logic skill set too often displayed by HRC supporters.

[Omaha Steve]

19. Well most DUers know my name and that I'm retired

I'd like to see somebody show me how donating through an Act Blue link reveals personal info.

[Omaha Steve]

5. How would DUers get that info by using a DU link?

7. Bernie is 100% bought and paid for...

...by the people.

[Go Vols]

16. Where can you see what was flagged from here?

I use your link quite a bit and was curious.

[Cavallo]

17. I'm pretty sure I am someone who said none of your dang business

what does that mean?

Do I get my donation back so I can give it again and list my employer when donating?

[Omaha Steve]

18. IF you are not contacted, don't worry about it

Assume everything is fine.

[Adrahil]

20. Wait... Federal contractors are not permitted to donate? Since when?

I've never been asked that question. I have been asked if I am a lobbyist, but never just a contractor.
