One thing I feel my group and many others demonstrated in 2020 was that there's no relationship between political giving to state house races and the outcomes of those elections. In fact, there's some evidence it backfires. Hold on to your wallets with both hands.https://twitter.com/BobbyBigWheel/status/1405601078478098432 …
That is true, but I contend they are ineffective (and when overdone, counterproductive) whatever their goal.

Turning out your base works (see Trump, Warnock, Ossoff). Your original point that there is no good evidence to support nationalizing campaigns and funnelling insane amounts of money to them doesn't need to rely on the claim that they don't.

All the talk of "turning out your base" is kind of tautological. Please remember my claim is that there is no causal link between political donations and electoral outcomes.
