Why would you want to donate to a political organization? I don't get it. If you don't know of a political organization already that you want to support, why go out to find one?
Your donation could go to a different / better cause than a political party.
I’m all for removing the influence of money from politics. But as long as money remains the main medium of influence, people not donating to political causes as a matter of principle is effectively removing the influence of people from politics.
Exactly. For instance, OP could donate to me.
I left out specifics because I didn't want this thread to become a political debates, but I want to support the people running against fascists, because the fascists will do a hell of a lot worse than sell my contact information. I'd just much rather do it without getting harassed.
I would recommend not using your regular email address or phone number. I think you might be required to give your real address, though.
