Because the IRS granted Act Blue charities 501c3 status, meaning they determined that they were not doing that, and Act Blue charities is required to make filings with the IRS each year to show that they are not doing that. The money then went to another company that also has 501c3 status which also couldn't give it to the DNC. You'd imagine if their corruption was so obvious that random VGChartz user figured out their scheme, then the IRS would certainly have sniffed them out and stripped them of their status. So why hasn't the IRS done just that?

What does that have to do with anything? As soon as the money reached BLM they donated it to the DNC. Im not sure what you are saying. Youre saying that BLM dont get the money. They can never use any of it? Im confused....

Yeah. You're clearly confused about how this works, so maybe you shouldn't have jumped to an opinion yet.
Money that BLM raises through Act Blue charities currently go to Thousand Currents, another 501c(3). Thousand Currents is responsible for demonstrating to the IRS that the money does not ultimately go to political campaigns, or they lose their 501c(3) status. Thousand Currents has maintained 501c(3) status for 35 years.
They can't just tell the IRS they gave money to BLM for "reasons" they'd have to explain what exactly it is being used for. If it is found that the money is going to the DNC, then Thousand Currents and Act Blue Charities would both be stripped of 501c(3) status.
Additionally, donations to the DNC have to be reported to the FEC. Donations can't come through Actblue charities, or Thousand Currents. BLM Global Network could make contributions, but I believe their only source of income currently is money raised through Act Blue Charities then given to Thousand Currents, so if money went from BLM Global Network to the DNC, that would be an obvious red flag. The FEC for its part reports that no money has been donated to the DNC from Thousand Currents, or BLM Global Network. Now, the money can go to officers of BLM for compensation who can do whatever they want with it at that point, but the maximum personal contribution to a political campaign is only 2800 dollars... So, if BLM wanted to try to get money to the DNC by distributing it to individuals they'd have to have like 5,000 people on their payroll all getting $2,800 from Thousand Currents and making the maximum contribution. That would be pretty sketchy looking, and pretty easy for the IRS to spot.
If the fraud was as obvious as you claim, that is something that should be picked up on. Particularly because Thousand Currents was audited in 2019 by the IRS. So the IRS did in fact look into their books and determined that they were not funneling money to the DNC either directly or indirectly. And Black Lives Matter is an actual corporation, so the IRS could have and presumably would have looked into their books as well.
So, again, the burden of proof goes to you. How exactly do you suggest that the money is getting from Act Blue Charities to the DNC without the IRS or FEC picking up on it? Either it didn't happen, or it did and the FBI willingly looked the other way.

Sometimes discussions reach a point where there are three options:
1. Ignorance 2. Idiocy 3. Trolling
Once the avenues of educating someone have been depleted, you can scratch point 1 from the list. Then you proceed to ask the person in question if it's 2 or 3.

its 4. Honesty

That is not mutually exclusive to 1 and 2.
