    Same. Even though that is wholly untrue. Like… I actually have the receipts… And it’s not just donations to B*rnie, it’s many others… Why?

      I think according to the FAQs it's only public record if it's over 200$ in a campaign.

        You can see any amount donated on the FEC website. I had a few small donations to Bernie I checked once and they all showed up there.

      I wonder, is this only picking up if you've claimed this on your taxes maybe?

        That’s exactly it. I don’t include those in my tax forms. (Because I’m way too lazy to keep track of the all the small ones. Which are the only way I make donations. Not flexing, or signaling. I just usually only have a couple extra dollars available at most times.)

        No. You can't claim political donations on your taxes. There's a threshold below which individual contributions aren't reported; I believe that threshold is $200 in total donations.
