I retweeted parts of this earlier, but this whole thread is just great. People need to be honest with themselves that last-minute political volunteering is strictly a feel-good activity with zero impact. Nothing wrong with feeling good, but be honest with yourself about it!https://twitter.com/ctmorganti/status/1220557215028981760 …

Want to have an actual impact? Give money. It's a terrible thing to tell a Puritan country. I know everyone would rather live in the world where last-minute phone calls from out-of-state college students reading from a prepared script win the election.

Where do you give this money to? I'm so glad you asked! Here's a long list of competitive state campaigns in key swing state districts that in most cases have been outraised by their incumbent Republican opponent, and have budgets on the order of $100K.https://secure.actblue.com/donate/state_slate_omnibus …

And on this note, I'm happy to say we just got a $10K matching challenge for the "State Slate Omnibus"—that is, the full list of 41 state candidates we've been fundraising for since the start of the summer. Next $10K donated get matched dollar for dollar!https://secure.actblue.com/donate/state_slate_omnibus …

Oh, and I almost forgot—do you want to volunteer somewhere where it *does* make a difference, even at the last minute? BE A POLL WORKER.

Oh man, I really triggered last minute door-knocking Twitter with this thread. I know I don't vote on a pandemic Election Day until I see politics mormons show up on my doorstep!

We're now just $2,145 from meeting the matching challenge on the State Slate Omnibus—the whole list of 40-something candidates we've supported since the summer. Every buck you give is joined by another, for the next 2 grand or so.https://secure.actblue.com/donate/state_slate_omnibus …
