Many people use donations as a form of political expression—you give to AOC or against McConnell to register your strong feelings. But that money gets trapped in campaigns where it can't be put to use. Pelosi does not need your money. J. Random Candidate in a rural district does!

Remember how people gave Randy Bryce (the 'Iron Stache') $8M in 2018 on the strength of a viral video and the fact that he was running against Paul Ryan. He burned it all up on consultants and fundraising, then lost by 13 points. Give with your head, not your heart, in 2020.pic.twitter.com/z4a8wKoC2i

Want to help a real sleeper Senate race we can win? Donate in Alaska, where a medical doctor is running in a state whose economy is crushed by COVID-19.

McGrath especially is a politician we need to stop giving money to. She had a 45-1 fundraising advantage over Booker this spring and yet is struggling to just win her primary. Like Bryce, she burned through $8M for a 2018 House race on the strength of a video. Enough of this.

OpenSecrects claims shows Booker as having $284,902 cash on hand -- is that really more than they can use for the remaining 4 months of a campaign?

If he wins he’ll get a ton of small donations from people that want McConnell gone. It’s a small chance he wins anyway

This is a good place to try to explain Cook PVI and why a few +2s matter more than a +28 in NY
