birdman#12 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I used to......but after watching the state & federal governments pile up the national debt, underfund pensions and give a ridiculous amount of handouts with none of them, left or right, having the integrity to be more fiscally responsible, I stopped with the donations. That was years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boogyman Posted April 25, 2021 Author Share Posted April 25, 2021 I have never and probably never would. Just curious about who amongst us has and their reasoning behind doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPeeteRules Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I haven’t, but wouldn’t be against doing so if it was someone I knew (friend or family member). I don’t think I would to anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They pay the salaries of these crooks and help their political endeavors. And of course you have the big private interest "donations”. Any little individual donation from is only moral support, a little more pocket cash, and validates that we support their corrupt ways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just jotting down some thoughts as to why besides the rare circumstances that you actually know and trust the candidate, i can think of a million and one ways to put that money to a better cause but to each his own and i dont care or judge what someone else does with their hard earned money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you go out of your way to go somewhere due to who they donate to, I would consider it a donation in the sense your talking about (if you’re also paying a greater premium price).
