I donated to @glyph and co's #SuperSwingDistricts slate. Properly resourcing state-level candidates increases the chance that voters in important swing districts might actually get to meet someone they're going to vote for, or be persuaded to show up and vote for something that matters to their local community.

I've donated to #SuperSwingDistricts, a strategy for donating to local candidates in important races that are also likely to "turn out" many voters who wouldn't have voted for the federal candidate otherwise. Thanks @glyph for building and sharing this 💜
Please take a look, this strategy seems compelling to me:
And we made it, and then some. On to the next goal: $60k.
Writing that thread about the stakes of the election from my perspective really took a lot more out of me than I thought it was going to though, so please get to $60k while I take a break for a while.
An hour later and we're only a little over $300 from the new goal. Thank you to everyone donating. Really inspiring to watch.
Okay, time to properly launch this: SUPER SWING DISTRICTS! superswingdistricts.org
This is a slate of Democratic candidates calculated for maximum impact for your donation dollars.
National campaigns receive a ton of money, but can't always deploy it locally in the places that the Electoral College, gerrymandering, and … shenanigans mean it needs to be spent. But figuring out which local campaigns *can* use it is a lot of work. This site is the output of that work.
Going to take a break for a few hours from talking about #SuperSwingDistricts but I did want to talk just a *little* bit about the stakes.
In 2016… almost 8 years ago… I wrote this: blog.glyph.im/2016/11/what-are…
If you're convinced, this is not an article for you to read, but it is an article for you to share, if you know someone who is not convinced that this is *serious*.
I was early, but I wasn't wrong.
In 2016, nobody had "mass deportations now" signs. In 2016, there were guard rails.
