If you've contributed through the ActBlue page on DU, I need your guidance.
I keep putting in the amount I want to contribute next to Joe's name, but then it splits the amount equally between all candidates. Any advice on what I'm doing wrong?

The breakdown of contributions and contributors through DU and through ActBlue is interesting.

TIA.

1. I just donate to Joe directly, so I'm of no help.
That's weird tho.

2. Thanks -- I've always done it directly, too, but thought it would be
interesting to track the suppot on this site, although from what I saw, it doesn't seem a lot of people use this feature.

5. I always contribute directly to the campaogn through his website.
This way, there are no problems with him getting what you intended.

6. Try this
Go back to ActBlue. Across the top of the page there is a banner that includes "Candidate Directory". Click on that option. Then you will get a list of offices. Click on "President". That should take you to a list of the presidential candidates. Joe is the second one on that list. Next to his picture there is a bar that says "Contribute". Click there and it should take you to the page to list your donation, etc. That money will go directly to Senator Biden, for his primary bid.

There is a different option, which it sounds like you may have wandered into, which is to contribute to the Democratic nominee. That money is held in reserve until after the nomination and then given to the nominee.

8. I have donated there and the best I remember is after selecting
your candidate go all the way to the bottom and click somewhere near the dollar sign?? I did the same thing and it seems I filled in the amount and then it showed who the $$$ went to.
