    Does anyone think this money was well spent, given the down ballot results?https://twitter.com/aseitzwald/status/1334508203770605570 …

    The liberal online donation clearinghouse ActBlue processed $4.8 billion (!) in the 2020 election cycle for 22,000 different candidates and organizations, via 14.8 million unique donors, per release.

        It’s also quite possible money matters less than we thought, which, yay?

        yeah when you get warchests that large, they just become consultant slush funds. however, money is still important to lesser known candidates

        What would have been the down ballot results without it? Seems difficult to know.

        I have the same take when some people claim that we gained nothing from The Lincoln Project.

        Well, as is always the case every election cycle, no one really has a good handle on where the money was spent, or on what. Certainly the ninety mil or whatever to McGrath would have been better spent on bonfires, but in general we don't know where it went or how it was used.

        And, to be clear, I'm not talking here about fraud or corruption or whatever. I just mean that it's nearly impossible to reconstruct how campaigns allocate resources in a way that provides useful information for analysis.
