Hard words but necessary: both Booker and McGrath are great candidates, I wish them the best, but they have both raised far more than they can possibly use. If you want to help secure a Senate majority, give in marginal races and downballot in competitive states, not in Kentucky.https://twitter.com/PpollingNumbers/status/1276171967226396674 …

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. And give to Alyse Galvin, running statewide for House there! I did a whole cool interview with her:https://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/1275911963558555649 …

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.

Our broken campaign finance system has the same problem as the startup economy—it rewards the people who are best at storytelling to donors with money, and not the people who can deliver on the stories they sell.
