1. I get an email from Democrats asking for money about every 5 minutes, I'm not exaggerating. And I am happy to make my modest contributions (I'm not Elon, but a million of us are). But the question is where would my money most help general election efforts? To Elissa Slotkin, Colin Allred, Tammy Baldwin, what would be best? It would be super-useful if the Bulwark helped us with such questions. Otherwise, I have no idea who most needs my support. If the Bulwark doesn't and can't do this, can you guys point to anyone who reliably does this? We need to win, let's get organized.
2. The Bulwark should also make clear where we make general suggestions such as this, ie, have a system in place that allows us to empower practical election strategies.
I ignore all the ones from CA (heck, it's blue where I am), and places that have lots of rich folks that can give. But I have given to Tester, the Montana farmer running against a rich carpetbagger who doesn't know one end of a horse from another unless he's betting on it. What annoys me the most are the doomsday one from the national or state parties. I only give to the candidate, not the state or national party.

This! We must be on the same email lists.
