How do you allocate your political money?

[Algernon Moncrieff]

This is a no-wrong-answer question. In general, if you have any disposable income to dedicate to politics, in general terms, how do you principally spend it?

1. Mostly individuals

But also to the DNC, DSCC and DCCC on occasion. I avoid PACs/SuperPACs now. Poll should allow multiple choices

[Algernon Moncrieff]

2. I'd love that as a polling option

Or ranked choice.

[relayerbob]

14. Yep, that's the only problem with these polls

But, overall was a good question

[cloudbase]

3. Individual candidates only.

Mostly local, with an occasional exception.

[greenjar_01]

4. Clothes and vacations

[Algernon Moncrieff]

6. I get it

I get more requests for money thru ActBlue than I could possibly respond to.

[AZProgressive]

5. Mostly individual campaigns

I donated to Justice Democrats but I don’t donate anymore since it seems my money isn’t helping candidates win.

7. Zero financial donations to politicals. Allocations go to social work causes this past 3 years

[Mr.Bill]

9. I donate to local charities.

I don't send money to people who have way more of it than I do.

[Tetrachloride]

10. Exactly. In at least 2 views, in my situation

[Algernon Moncrieff]

11. That's a completely reasonable political choice

Support the poor, the environment, etc. at the most basic level.

8. My allocation of my money is... ALL MY MONEY IS ALLOCATED AS MY MONEY

At 70 I am beyond trusting politicians to follow through on campaign dreams.

When I donate, to politicians who seem to share my interests, I donate small, expecting that if when things proabably go bad ( I am supporting someone who shares -my- much in the minority values after), I'll lose small.

I don't believe in supporting Sunk Costs. I won't give just to help someone I earlier gave a little.

[brooklynite]

12. Yes?

I've given money to all of them.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

17. Over the years I've had to learn to pick my battles

Contrary to what ActBlue seems to think, I do not have unlimited funds. I mostly support candidates outside my state because my state is mostly deep red (thst may be changing somewhat). I support GiffordsPAC sometimes because we shouldn't keep having endless mass shootings.

13. Individual candidates, and issue oriented organizations.

[mvd]

15. When I am able to donate

I mostly give to individual candidates. Sometimes to the DNC and organizations I support.

[Raine]

16. NONE for any political party or politics

all donations go for animal causes.

[Violet_Crumble]

18. I don't understand. I've never donated a single cent to political causes....

And that's because it's just a totally weird thing to do. I donate to animal rescue groups, the RSPCA, Amnesty International and stuff like that. Why do already cashed up political parties need my money????

[Withywindle]

19. I don't donate to national politicians anymore, only to local ones

I don't have bottomless money, and right now I'm sending what I can to people most under attack: abortion funds, LGBTQ funds, funds for Black people affected by police brutality.

[Amishman]

20. direct to candidates, and I am fairly selective who gets my money.

I have to agree with them on most or all of their ideas to give them money. We are a big tent party, and frankly a fair amount of the time I am voting blue simply because our candidate is a better choice than the alternative. My money is a limited resource, so it only goes to the candidates who are closest to me on a broad range of topics.
