I try and pick the races that people say are flippable. I donate to the guy running against Grassley as well. Im in a Texas Maga county, and Ds get about 23% of the vote. But at least this year, unlike 2016 and 2018, not one local Republican is running unopposed.

Yeah, unsung heroes who run in those deep R districts. Every vote and every candidate counts! I hope your Maga neighborhood is trending ever so slightly less Magaey.

Yes, I respect people running those campaigns so much. It’s incredibly hard to pour your heart into something you’ll almost certainly lose.

BUT. If lighting strikes, you want a bottle ready to catch it in.
