Yesterday someone complained about my reposting the same diary to encourage this community to donate to Democrats up & down the ballot day after day.
I have no idea what their gripe was. I don’t receive a dime from what I raise, and unlike some of the PACs flooding everyone’s in boxes with donation begs, every dime goes to the campaigns & orgs listed on each page (well, except for ActBlue’s standard 4% for processing & overhead, which is reasonable).
But yeah, I do indeed plan on reposting it every day (or nearly every day) between now an November, because it’s fucking important. Democracy itself sits on the edge of a knife: If we lose, everything this community has worked for and all the progress we’ve made for the past two decades or longer will be gone. If we win, however...and win big, which is a distinct possibility...I see tremendous possibilities for dramatically improving the status quo.
So if you have a problem with this diary being posted daily, a reminder that you could, y’know, just skip over it.
On the other hand, if you appreciate it, it’d be great if you could visit Blue24.org (or one of the direct links below), pick a page, pick some candidates & donate today!
Over the past 2 election cycles, I’ve raised over $7.5 MILLION for HUNDREDS of Democratic candidates at the federal, statewide and state legislative levels.
For statewide races, I list every GOP state, no matter how deep red, because I trust people to understand that yes, Wyoming & Oklahoma are extreme long shots for a Democrat; if they choose to donate to a Dem there, I assume they have their reasons. HOWEVER, I make sure to clearly label those races as being long shots.
For legislative races, however, with some exceptions, I only list districts which are either rated as tossup/lean by Cook Political Report (Congress), or which have a PVI rating under 10 according to Dave’s Redistricting (state legislatures).
I’ve raised $330,000 $343,000 $357,000 $358,000 so far this cycle and have set a soft target for myself of $4 million by November, but we’ll see how it goes.
I’ve therefore created a one-stop shop where you can easily find all of them at once.
I call it Blue24.org.
The candidates listed will be filled in and/or may change over time as various filing deadlines and primaries pass, as well as changing circumstances like nominees having to be replaced, etc.
This isn't another PAC. It's just a one-stop link to make it easy for people to donate directly to hundreds of Democratic candidates running for federal, statewide and especially local (state legislative) offices.
Blue24.org has links to multiple ActBlue fundraising pages where you can donate to Democrats, including:
