The Democrat Party is going extinct. They can’t keep the charade up any longer.
And now the Democrat Party’s being forced to close up shop after being shot in the head with this terrible news.
Put simply, the Democrat Party has been in an existential crisis ever since its disastrous showing in the 2024 election cycle. They continue to struggle with connecting with any Americans at all. Just look at the way they tried to stage a “resistance” to Donald Trump at his speech given to Congress, only to come across as hateful and prideful sociopaths who only care about their own radical agenda. They cared more about being dedicated Trump-hating team blue soldiers than cheering for a young boy who has survived cancer.
It’s not just the public persona they are struggling with, though. Now their fundraising arms are falling apart and pose a real threat to the Party’s future. Rumors are flying that the Party could be forced to go under because the bottom is falling out of their support base. You can’t be a political party without decent fundraising in America these days.
ActBlue’s Internal Chaos: A Potential Blow to Democratic Ambitions
The Democratic Party’s fundraising juggernaut, ActBlue, is teetering on the edge of disarray. According to a recent New York Times report, the nonprofit—which has channeled hundreds of millions of dollars into Democratic campaigns at every level—saw at least seven senior officials abandon ship last month. Among them was a lawyer who hinted darkly that he “faced internal retaliation,” a claim that raises eyebrows about the organization’s inner workings. For a group that prides itself on being the financial backbone of progressive politics, this upheaval suggests a troubling fragility at a time when Democrats can ill afford instability.
ActBlue’s influence in processing election donations is undeniable, making its current turmoil more than just an internal headache. The chaos could ripple outward, threatening the Democratic Party’s ability to fund its candidates effectively. Two unions representing ActBlue’s workforce sounded the alarm in a letter to the organization’s board, as reported by the Times. They described the wave of resignations since February 21 as an “alarming pattern” that is “eroding our confidence in the stability of the organization.” The reasons for this mass exodus remain murky, which only fuels speculation about what’s really going on behind the scenes.
The departures hit hard across the nonprofit’s leadership. The customer service and partnerships directors—both veterans with over a decade at ActBlue—were among the first to go. Hot on their heels, the highest-ranking legal officer and several other senior figures, including an assistant research director, an HR official, the chief revenue officer, and an engineer, followed suit. The unions didn’t mince words about the loss of legal expertise, noting in their letter: “Those of us who work with our legal team in our day-to-day do not have clear direction on how to proceed with our work in their absence.” For an organization that thrives on precision and compliance, this gap is a glaring vulnerability.
ActBlue’s response? A carefully worded statement from spokeswoman Megan Hughes, who told the Times, “Like many organizations, as we undergo some transition heading into this new election cycle, we are focused on ensuring we have a strong team in place.” She added, “We greatly appreciate the contributions of our incredible team members and remain deeply committed to the success of our organization and our mission to enable grass-roots supporters to make their voices heard.” It’s the kind of polished PR line that sounds reassuring—until you notice it doesn’t actually explain why so many key players are jumping ship.
Then there’s Zain Ahmad, the last lawyer standing in ActBlue’s general counsel’s office until recently. In a message to the Times, Ahmad pointedly remarked, “We have Anti-Retaliation and Whistleblower Policies for a reason.” The paper also revealed that on February 26, Ahmad posted in a Slack channel that he’d been locked out of his email and work platforms; he’s now on leave. His cryptic comments hint at a culture of retribution—an unsettling prospect for a group that’s supposed to embody Democratic ideals of fairness and transparency.
This isn’t ActBlue’s first brush with controversy. Back in August 2024, Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares fired off a letter to the nonprofit, flagging hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations from Virginia that, in his words, appeared “facially implausible and appear suspicious.” Republican lawmakers pounced, with Wisconsin Representative Bryan Steil leading the charge in September to investigate what he called “potential criminal activity.”
Steil, chair of the House Administration Committee, urged the attorneys general of Missouri, Texas, Arkansas, Florida, and Virginia to dig into allegations that ActBlue illegally exploited people’s identities to funnel cash into Democratic campaigns. By October, the committee had roped in 19 state AGs to expand the probe, spurred by whistleblower reports of donor record discrepancies uncovered by reporters.
Amid the chaos, ActBlue’s vice president for customer service, Alyssa Twomey, took to LinkedIn last week to announce her exit after 14 years. “Now, my primary mission is rest,” she wrote. “After 14+ years of living and breathing all things ActBlue, it’s time for a reset. I’m taking an intentional pause before setting course for my next adventure.” A commenter gushed in reply, “Thank you for all that you did to make ActBlue the critical infrastructure under our movement. I’ve said many times that ActBlue is the single finest customer service organization on the planet.” The praise rings a bit hollow when you consider the organization she’s leaving behind is hemorrhaging talent and facing legal scrutiny.
For Democrats, ActBlue’s woes couldn’t come at a worse time. The party leans heavily on the platform’s ability to rake in grassroots dollars, a machine that’s now sputtering. The resignations, the allegations of retaliation, and the looming investigations paint a picture of an operation in disrepair. While ActBlue insists it’s just navigating a “transition,” the mounting evidence suggests something deeper—a dysfunction that could leave Democratic campaigns scrambling for cash and credibility as the next election cycle looms.
For a party that loves to tout its organizational prowess, this unraveling at ActBlue might just be a self-inflicted wound too big to ignore. The Party has already earned the reputation for being detached from reality, with more Americans than ever before claiming the Democrat Party has the “wrong” vision for America’s future. This a recipe for disaster for Democrats for decades to come.
