Plus even if that “unemployed” donor figure was true (and the national figure of 4% is clearly not), that doesn’t mean a person can’t donate to a political candidate.
The data is from 2019, when UE was indeed under 4%. However, even basic back of the envelope math shows that this is a tempest in a teapot. They’re alleging that roughly $346 million came from 4.7 million individual donors that put themselves down as “no employer/unemployed” and there’s no way so many unemployed people could have had money to donate such large amounts to ActBlue.
That math bit I talked about? $346 / 4.7 works out to roughly $73.61 per donor. I think I got about that much in my piggy bank at home.
