I desperately need someone to explain to me how to donate on ActBlue.

It used to be so simple: Put candidate's name in the box and hit "Enter."

Make a contribution. Finished!

I read the DU post about Tammy Duckworth. I went to ActBlue to donate to her. It's completely impenetrable; I'm not stupid, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to donate to Tammy Duckworth on ActBlue. And I've been a member there for years!

I can't even find something that says "How do I make a donation?" It's so filled with impossible layers of shit that I can't figure it out.

I don't need a link to Tammy Duckworth. I need someone to explain to me, in simple terms, How to make a donation there. I used them for years with no problem, but their New Big Deal Shit is impossible to negotiate.

1. Gave up messing w ActBlue's complicated nonsense a while ago.

Why don't you want to donate to Tammy directly?

2. I thought about that, but it used to be so easy and simple. I want it to be easy and simple again.

3. Hope you get some help and it all works out for you

4. I went to ActBlue, clicked on the hourglass at the upper right

Searched for Tammy Duckworth and a donation page popped up:
https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/page/tammy-duckworth-3

They seem to be pushing for more people to use it as a fundraising site instead of making it easier to find people to contribute to, but the functionality is still there.

5. Oh, you mean that little magnifying glass. Why in the holy shit isn't there something that says

"Click on the magnifying glass to donate to candidates."

Thanks for your help.

6. Yeah - brain fart. Just as I was writing that I got a call so I was doing two at once!

I agree - ActBlue should make it clearer how to find your candidates. I bet a large percentage of people are getting there from links directly to the candidates' pages, though, rather than going to ActBlue to look for a candidate.
