The States Project is one of the best bang-for-your-buck options for your campaign donations.
Even beyond it, though, state legislatures deserve your attention. Next time you're tempted to send money to whoever's going to lose to MTG, send it instead to a contested state leg seat.
So true. The GOP's plan to "win" the election whatever the popular vote says depends on controlling state legislatures that can certify the state's results, appoint EC electors, and gerrymander district boundaries.
I keep banging on about this. Local elections matter more than flashy national ones. You can't control the county Board of Commissioners anywhere except where you live, and their decisions effect you directly.
I've always said that the DNC needs a few ringers to run against the most hated Republicans.
You raise a decent bit of hell, say how you're the only person who can beat Satan(R) and then you send 30 million to other candidates campaigns for the bulk of your spending.
What’s the best time of year and the election cycle to donate? I continually get donation emails and texts and have to prioritize. My current priority is keeping Ukrainian soldiers alive.
Do you recommend seats or orgs? I've been donating to red state Democratic parties because it seems like we need a broader institutional shoring-up than just "No, really, Amy McGrath will defeat Mitch McConnell" or whatever.
Thanks to you and @kleinman.bsky.social I finally cancelled my @nytimes.com subscription and redirected that money to something that can make the world better.
