right lmao. they don't know their financial situation lmao.
Thanks for this thread OP. I've got recurring donations set up for this fund.
Since a bunch of people are riled up in this thread, I also want to advertise the Adopt a State effort being run by the people behind this fund:
votesaveamerica.com
You can select a swing state to volunteer for and take part on phone/text banking for that state. Given that this year all canvassing is virtual you don't even need to live in a swing state to help get out the vote there. I've adopted PA. This weekend is going to be huge for canvassing given the news so it wold be great of some folks here want to take part.

Not 100% sure, but I think you *should* be able to donate to these guys:
Help Florida's Returning Citizens Pay Fines and Fees
Donate today to help people with past convictions in Florida pay their fines and fees so they can move on with their lives.

Florida put a vote tax on felons before they can vote.
FYI if you live in Washington State, I can help direct you to local Indivisible groups. let me know.
Broke AF with $60 in my account but I'll be damned if I'm just gonna sit here and do nothing. $25 less but I consider it an investment. No excuses. Let's go.
How are you coming to this conclusion? wouldn't it be non voters?

YUP. BUT. this says turnout is going to be fucking massive if there are millions more of people thinking just like her.
I really hope so! We get our ballots in the mail in Colorado in a few weeks, hoping to see a massive blue turnout.
This is Republicans' wet dream. Especially if there's still an open seat on election day, R's will be motivated like crazy.
Trump's base is already motivated, the people who care enough about the SC were already voting because it was widely understood the next presidential term would be replacing RBG anyway.
Yeah, our group is abuzz this morning. We have way more interest in our group's actions and more commitment from people that we have not seen before.
And I guess Democrats will be sat on their behinds. Look at the early voting lines, and how many today are stating they are motivated by RBG's passing. Look at the donation totals. The whole "Kavanaugh motivated GOP in 2018!" thing was already a myth, it just increased polarization.
OP
OP
Republicans are always motivated to vote due to the neverending onslaught of Fox News/right wing media. That's part of the reason they continually win and hold power. Dems being motivated and having the cash to get their message out is great. Women will be motivated like crazy to go out and vote this year.
That's not a bad point. But there's a reason Republican ghouls are already on Twitter licking their chops at the thought of reversing RvW all of a sudden. It's no coincidence.
It goes both ways at this point. Just gotta GOTV. Hit early voting like mad. Nothing else we can do.
Supreme Court is kinda baked into the hardcore Republican base. They're the consistent turnouts. On the other hand RBG specifically was rather well known even to younger liberal voters who are more likely to actually skip out. Name recognition will amplify this to the left. It also may push donations throughout the senate, as has already happened.
In addition, the Obama to Trump swing voters are largely pro-choice. Women were abandoning him already. Plus this becomes a battle for healthcare even more so and democrats win that every time.
OP
OP
more people are picking sides thats what's really happening than staying neutral, and if 2018 is any indication people do not like the racism and sexism.

All those ghouls were already voting for Trump. Remember that there are more Democrats than Republicans in America. That's why the GOP attacks voting, and engages in suppression and gerrymandering. Because they have to cheat and discourage to keep power, they're the minority.

Bail Funds you should be able to donate to in florida. they definitely need help. Check them out in the OP
is the link for this race in the op? ill go donate to him right now.
I'm confused as to what this extra money will do, though? More ads? I urge people to vote for something like this, the fines of former convicts, because it'll at least mean that even if seats aren't flipped, that there will be a tangible benefit to the lives of those ex-convicts, not having to be shackled by that debt anymore:

Ads are good
OP
OP
But those ads aren't guaranteed to flip the seats, at least this will hopefully help even if they don't win, because it goes directly towards another cause. I know that the convicts aren't guaranteed to vote, even if they have those rights restored, but I think it's a better use of donations.
That's the collective action problem
Reducing your carbon emissions isn't guaranteed to stop global warming
Voting isn't guaranteed to win an election
But if we all do it, the chances of success increase
And you can and should donate to both!
Yep, name awareness is a big problem for alot of candidates. Helping get out the word brings in more volunteers, ability to do things like text message, and puts the message out for more people so they can make an informed decision when they vote.
I'm a big supporter of State House races too since redistricting is going on next year that will decide districts for the next 10 years. In Texas, Democrats have the chance to flip the Texas House. They only need 9 additional seats and 17 seats were within 2 points in 2018. These races usually get less money so money goes further and they can have up ballot positive effects too since these are usually the politicians people see in their neighborhoods. The Texas fund is
