[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel you, OP. I made one political donation in 2016, and I’m still getting emails and texts, no matter how many times I unsubscribe, junk, block, and text Stop. It’s infuriating. But I doubt it’s worth pursuing. I don’t plan to ever donate to a campaign again, that’s for sure. [/quote]
The political parties still have their influence seeking mega donors but I would imagine the number of individual small donors has continually declined in recent years for obvious reasons. I've also noticed fewer political bumper stickers on cars and less red or blue signs in front yards. I'm okay with this.[/quote]
Individual small donations were increasing leading up to 2017, and that was before ActBlue and WinRed really got going. I can’t find updated data for this but I seriously doubt that trend turned on a dime. The 2018 midterms in particular were absolutely fueled by individual donations, and there have been a number of candidates on both sides famously racking up lots of small dollars even though their races are unwinnable - Amy McGrath against Mitch McConnell, Kim Klacik in Baltimore, Omar Navarro in San Francisco,  Marcus Flowers against MTG etc.
