A thread on how record fundraising has crippled a bunch of Democratic campaigns, which also ties in to people's question "can candidates do anything useful with donations a week before the election?" TL;DR no one can afford to pay for pre-reserved ad time because of Senate races

Two weeks ago I saw huge fundraising numbers for the campaigns I fundraise for on the Great Slate, and thought we were all set. But it turns out no one can even cover the costs of the pre-election ad space they reserved, since it's gone up 5x-10x in price.

The ads are good! They're good in part because your generous support made it possible to run a real campaign in places that have traditionally been ignored, and where we now have a real chance to win. Check out this one from Alyse Galvinhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meqHju0bFFg …

The problem is, we have to get them in front of people this week, and that takes more money. Right now I'm funneling all I can to ME-2, Alaska, and Iowa, where I think it has the most impact. If you can still help, please dig deep and get us over the linehttps://secure.actblue.com/donate/great_slate …
