Depends where you send your money. I've used this in the past and as a huge bonus, I don't get added to 29494494292 mailing lists https://app.oath.vote/
From what I can tell, all that does is send money to campaigns. While not getting junk mail is great, it doesn't build long-term grass roots organizations or resiliency. It doesn't support active protests, or get politicians to vigorously oppose what's happening to the US.
I don't like how you can't see their recommendations for previous elections. That would help others judge if their "algorithm" is effective.
Well, yes, it's for campaign donations so it doesn't do those other things. Perhaps others can recommend groups that do a good job of those.
Their algorithm is basically just targeting close state races, if I recall correctly. So like a state Senator from Arizona or something. Those are races where small donations go further than whatever big ticket Senate race gets a lot of press.
My problem with the campaign donations approach is it seems like a money pit.
Campaign organizers in both major parties benefit by pointing out how the other party keeps spending more money, as a way to encourage even more donations.
It also seems like a negative incentive to pass certain laws. "We need money for the next campaign so we can work on $TOPIC" might be a good fundraiser, so if those laws are passed then the funding stops ... or even switches to the other party.
Which party is working on strict campaign donation limits, which in this post-Citizens United era we know requires a constitutional amendment, or an overturn by the Supreme Court. Certainly not the Republicans, as Vance is asking the Supreme Court to strike down limits on political donations precisely because PACs are now so powerful. Nor do I see active engagement by the Democrats.
These are generally state races with less money involved in them. I agree about systemic reform, but until that happens, you deal with the system as it is.
Not for building grass roots organizations. Not for building resiliency. Not for active protests, and organized opposition by the politicians.
I'm sure the political consultants got paid well though.
