Uhh where are you where political donations, either to candidates directly, or to PAC/501c(4) are deductible?
They are not. It says so right on the ActBlue page and everywhere else. It’s a legal requirement that people be notified that their donations are not tax deductible.

I didn’t realise that. I just assumed I guess.
I’d say that I wish they were, particularly as during this cycle I’m stretching my budget to sprinkle some around on good candidates, win or lose.
But, overall I think they should NOT be deductible.
I also agree with your sentiment that people in the ~120k range are firmly “middle class” now for whatever that’s worth.
Of course, there are regional variables too — that money in Jackson MS is very different than in Brooklyn NY
