I'm getting bombed in my texts from Democrats all over the country.

[OAITW r.2.0]

I don't want to react to every request...I can't financially. But I do want to start investing in a Democratic bluewave in November. It has to. if we want to survive as a country.

Does the DCCC or ActBlue have a single point of donation that analyzes all races in the country and allocates where the money will do the most good?

If so, I'd really appreciate a link. I want to make a monthly donation to one source that will apply the money where it is most effective.

1. I know me as well.....ugh.

I give to all the close ones asking, but outside my 3 State area??? Trashing them. Sorry, just can’t afford to help them ALL.

2. 9 text messages in the last 5 hours!

God knows how many spam emails. My guess, over 100.

Just from candidates in other states that need a donation. I don't have time to evaluate every candidate or their chance at winning... I want to donate to races where I believe the candidate has a shot and aligns mostly with my values ( with allowances made for their locality and voters ).

3. Give to a competitive Senate race

There are about ten of these. Look at the Cook political report.

10. This helps a lot.....thanks.

4. It depends on what you mean by "do the most good" and "where it is most effective." Do the most good, as in, hold a

vulnerable D seat? Gain a vulnerable R seat? Shore up a likely win? Win in a new area? Support a long-shot progressive or a long-shot centrist?

6. Kind of. I'm looking for a source that analyzes all races and potential outcomes/probabilities and can offer

higher risk or conservative investment strategies. Except I don't expect a personal financial ROI.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

15. so, a straight win-loss comparison?

[OAITW r.2.0]

16. Probabilities.

For instance, Hi probability win, already well invested. vs. maybe possible win that has upside with financial investment.

5. I resent that they're sharing our contact info

The fact that I get emails and texts from virtually EVERY candidate in EVERY state no matter how big or small the campaign is is a HUUUUUGE turn-off. Do they really expect everyone can afford to donate to campaigns that can do nothing for us locally?

I wish there was a box to check to state “I do not authorize you to share my contact info” with anyone. If they do, I’m blocking them for all time. Why the hell would they pester us peons for donations when they’re already taking them from billionaires?

Yes, I’ve probably done it to myself. Need to stop signing every petition that pisses me off because I’m sure that’s where a lot of this begging crap stems from. *sigh*

9. No but it costs them functionally nothing to send the request

A big part of the problem is we don't have as many super wealthy donors as Republicans. There's no Democratic equivalent to what Musk spent or even the Koch brothers.

[buzzycrumbhunger]

11. And how many of us small potatoes

… are they alienating by encouraging everyone nationwide to make use of our contact info? How many—like me—get so pissed off that they throw up their hands and give nothing at all?

Surely, they’d get a better response if they begged ONLY within their specific areas. I mean seriously—why should someone in Florida care enough to send even $5 to a local candidate in Oregon, Alabama, Wisconsin, Texas, or New Mexico (I’ve gotten emails from all those places in the last two weeks, among others)?

All they’re looking at is that they need money, not whether it makes sense. The fact that it IS so easy to just add you to a database and that EVERYONE is using is the major problem. It’s just mindboggling that the DNC hasn’t thought this through any better than that.

13. I get what your saying. I spent over $6K supporting Harris/Dems in 2024.

Will probably do it this cycle too. But I'd like a better way to funnel my contributions.

[Gore1FL]

7. I have a bunch of requests.

I don't typically open them. It's to spam levels at this point. From email titles, I can construe that Mark Kelly, for example, has made his decision a bunch of times. I don't know if these are multiple decisions, or if he is really proud about one; as I said, I don't open them.

The situation is dire for some being out-raised, outspent, or simply in trouble for others. Honestly, if the asks weren't daily (hourly?) and were not so pointedly grim and stupid, I be inclined to donate more.

[Sparkly]

8. I think that's how I got on all these lists

which I kinda resent.

12. The old sayings, "Charity begins at home," and "All politics is local," are my guideposts for this year.

I, too, am inundated with requests from races big and small from all over the country. I've decided that this year, I'm going to mainly give to races in my own state, where I know the issues and where the candidates stand on each. Of course, I'm looking only at the Democrats, but there are choices among them prior to the primaries. Also, my state could really do a major swing this year, and I want to support that. (What really bugs me, is when I get requests from candidates out of state before they have even won their primaries. I mean, I won't be contributing to anyone out of state until they are the actual candidate in their state or district.) I also have to dial back the overall amount I've contributed in the past. Sorry, that's the state of the economy....
