The Democrats’ Biggest Donors Have Gone on Strike
The Wall Street Journal ^ | August 1, 2026 | Maggie Severns, Laura J. Nelson and Ken Thomas

Posted on 08/01/2026 7:20:47 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

George Soros and his son Alex donated more than $400,000 to the Democratic National Committee during the 2018 midterms. They gave more than $1 million during the 2022 midterm election cycle, campaign finance records show.

This year, they have yet to give the DNC a dollar.

The Soros’s aren’t alone—other high-profile donors have given little or no money to the Democrats’ central committee this year. Reid Hoffman, the co-founder of LinkedIn, wrote steady checks to the DNC for years but during the midterms has yet to give money.

In a sign of the party’s challenges, a running joke among some donors is that the DNC stands for “Do Not Contribute,” said one Democratic strategist who advises major party donors.

Months ahead of pivotal midterm elections, the Democratic fundraising apparatus has a big donor problem.

While many Democratic elites still feel bullish about taking back the House and are willing to throw big money at their favorite candidates, institutional fatigue—and in some cases, full-on drama—has set in among a number of the party’s biggest donors. Like voters, donors say they feel disillusioned with Washington and the party establishment they have long supported.

The DNC isn’t the only problem spot for Democrats—other Democratic committees and super PACs lag behind Republicans across the board. It is common for a party that is out of power in Washington to struggle, but Democrats are increasingly concerned it will hurt their chances of winning this fall as Republicans stack up significantly more money in committees and PACs that can organize door-knocking efforts and air TV ads.

They give to the DSA instead. Evil scumbags. Amazing the FBI can find nothing on Soros. Well not really. They aren’t looking. Maybe Bessant can go after his old boss with Treasury.

They never donated their own money. What they donated was kickbacks from all the USAID money and other government programs they were defrauding they were getting.

Thats how Democrats and I bet some Republicans have been staying in power for 40-50 years.

Now if only the R Party was truly pro-America, pro-Freedom, pro-Capitalism, and pro-Liberty.

Democrats still have every newspaper in the country, ALL of Hollywood, 98% of Madison Avenue, all of MSNOW, ABC, CBS, NBC, NPR, and PBS (if those losers are still around) and 99% of CNN...

Why worry about money when they've got the US 'press' in their pockets? Cry me a river.

Midterms will be paused for Federal offices.

SAVE is going nowhere with Congress about to adjourn for 6 weeks. We already have many primaries (LA!) that have selected candidates based on voter rolls packed with fraud. We have EO 13848, foreign interference in a domestic election signed in 2018, and renewed every year (yes, including the Autopen years). More recently, we have EO 14248 and EO 14399 as the setup for this Pause, dealing a good deal with mail-ins.

All 50 states are in violation of 14248, not providing voter rolls to the USPS, with rules for mailin ballots.

The setup is a perfect storm, no SAVE, fraudulent candidates, tainted voter rolls, leads to a National Emergency with respect to elections. A Pause is a must now to sort things out.

TBD is will our respective states still hold state and local elections on 11/3.

"They never donated their own money. What they donated was kickbacks from all the USAID money and other government programs they were defrauding they were getting. Thats how Democrats and I bet some Republicans"

This.

A website I saw this morning had a graph. One axis was the increase in USAID funding every year since 2012. The other was the rate of spending reported by the DNC. Their trajectory was almost identical.

Then the funding was cut, and the DNC bled the balance sheet out in 18 months.

Math doesn't lie.

Every NGO and NFP needs to be suspended, then re-apply with accredited accounting methods by licensed CPA's using IRS Regulations. Just Memphis (Shelby County) has more than 15,000 active NFP'S kicking back billions. I don't know the NGO numbers.

Don’t forget all the foreign donations they were hiding with ActBlue.

The biggest donors are obviously RICH. Since the RATs want to tax the rich into poverty, they’d be stupid to donate.

What the media described as Soros’s money was our money via USAID.

It was a YouTube feed story in the comments section. I’ll peel the onion a bit and see if I can find it.

Can’t get the fraud bucks that they used to and now have to pony up from their own pockets?

Successful people don’t want to give away their money to communists.

With RINOs and endless wars again, no need for the DNC. Their bidding is done.
