How do you decide whether to give one chunk to Biden/ Harris or split among debate races?

TurnPABlue.org does great work supporting state candidates and they only have a handful of paid staff so your contribution goes straight to candidate support. Right now they are pushing out texts to get folks to remember - No Naked Ballots.

I think your dollars go farther with grassroots groups.

Focus on donating to Dem Senate candidates who need cash:
1. Warnock (GA) in the “jungle primary”. He desperately needs cash. Has $2m on hand vs. $7m for Loeffler
2. Ossoff (GA) has $2.5m vs $10m for Perdue
3. Espy (MS) has only $680K (!!!) vs $1.2m for the incumbent. This is the cheapest place to pick up a seat in the Senate! If Espy could haul in $3-4m, he’d swamp the air waves. Cheap media in MS.
4. Greenfield (IA) has $5.6m vs Ernst has $9.1m.t

Bullock (MT), Bollier (KS), and Cunningham (NC) are all doing well in the money game. Of course, could always use more.

For now, Stop giving to Gideon (ME), Harrison (SC), Kelly (AZ), and McGrath (KY). They have so much cash.


Finally donating for this election cycle. Just gave $50 to each of these four. Thanks for inspiration!

A Democratic controlled Senate can remove the POtUS should he succeed in getting the election called in his favor by the SCOTUS.


You need 2/3 of the Senate to remove.

But a Dem majority Senate could provide for a long trial should there be another impeachment.

Trump will be able to do a lot of damage in the WH but a Dem Senate can slow him down.

Don't give more money to Biden. He has plenty.
Give money to Senate races. When Democrats control both houses, they can do a lot to stop the corrupt GOP.

These are good races to donate to:

Cal Cunningham NC (vs Thom Tillis)
Jaime Harrison SC (vs Lindsay Graham)
Mark Kelly Arizona (vs Martha McSally)
Sara Gideon Maine (vs Susan Collins)
Amy McGrath Kentucky (vs Moscow McTurtle)
John Hickenlooper Colorado (vs Cory Gardener)

Amy McGrath may not be able to defeat McTurtle, but I want her to have a fighting chance, and a big war chest gives her power and stature.

Making up for lost time

Enjoy the spending spree.

I wrote in a thread I started:

I have bee phone banking this week for PA, AZ and TX. I am spending my free time surfing a little less of DCUM, but to call undecided voters. If you are feeling anxious, please consider phone banking in crucial states.

Op here. Thanks for the great suggestions. I have also now given to “Every Last Vote” (thanks for the votesaveAmerica.com link where this was) and also did give to Teresa Greenfield. I appreciate the notes about who needs the money, although will continue to focus on national politics.

This site is kind of neat-takes a very data driven approach to what races are likely to flip and where


But this won’t dump trump. This is long game stuff.


Not true. You get someone to vote for a local or state candidate, they will vote for Pres. Lots of research that supporting local goes upvote.

OP, only give directly to candidates unless you want to be paying for someone’s salary.

Would love to hear more about PA or FL specific organizations looking to get out the student vote. Note those are also important in moneyball type legislative races.


Thanks for this idea.

GOtV efforts at Ohio State, Penn State, Pitt, U Wisconsin- Madison

Great idea. I would suggest giving to the Pennsylvania and Ohio state democratic parties. Wisconsin just got a huge chunk because of the Princess Bride reading.


+1. A lot of college kids don’t vote because voting when you don’t live at home is complicated and a hassle. But most will vote if you make it easier. Helping college kids at a huge school like Ohio State or Penn State navigate changing voter registration from a solid red/blue state or vote early absentee if they are Ohio residents not living at home could bank 10,000 extra votes for Biden. Even a small school like Oberlin that is liberal and pulls kids primarily from the DMV, Boston, CA, Chicago could bring 1000 plus Biden voters into Ohio. Or target UGA, GT, (I guess not UNC), and get a two-fer because there are flippable Senate seats.
