I heard that those gift cards end up being cashed in by ActBlue, EE.
ActBlue is undeniably the cash cow of the "progressive" movement, boasting over $6 billion raised for favored candidates since 2004.
The organization funneled more than $1.5 billion to leftist candidates in 2018 alone, and has moved almost $900 million to assist "progressives" thus far in 2019 and 2020.
Most of these contributions, according to ActBlue, come through gift cards of $100 or less.
It does not have to reveal donor names when processing its gift cards, as is normally required for virtually all online transactions.
This allows ActBlue or a mega-donor to easily break large donations down into smaller gifts to avoid campaign finance laws and Federal Election Commission scrutiny — once an individual donor or third-party organization has given $200 or more to a candidate, for instance, their information is supposed to be added to a public FEC database for the sake of transparency.
ActBlue’s structure allows illegal donations made online to be broken down into smaller gifts from claimed U.S. sources with little chance of exposure.
ActBlue’s design allows large donors to exceed contribution limits without even triggering the threshold for public reporting.
4.7 million of the 9.7 million ActBlue donors are reported to be unemployed. That’s a whopping 48.4% of all ActBlue donors in 2019-2020.

So many scams, so few non-gullible ppl.
One of my friends got scammed out of her camper last week. A young woman with two small kids came to her door in tears, begging to buy the camper because they were homeless and had no place to go. Friend told her that it was for sale for $3,000. Young lady cried some more and said that she only had $1,200. So friend felt sorry for her and accepted that. A couple days later friend saw her camper for sale on Facebook Marketplace -- for $3,000. It even still had the same pic of her cat hanging over the couch.
Horrible
Naturally, you believe it, imbecile.
