This is encouraging. I can imagine that good people could run & win if they have funds ready to help them. We have got to field good people and help them win back the House!
Yasmin, I'm delighted to hear of your rational approach to identifying flippable seats and spending your money only on those. It reminds me of OATH and Focus4Democracy- I imagine you are familiar with both. Once an activist learns about this kind of smart approach I don't know how they can continue donating money willy-nilly in a feel-good fashion. But many people do. I have friends, good-hearted people, who continue to give money to candidates that do not have a chance, or even if they won, that particular office wouldn't make much of a difference. We look for the Goldilocks zone, where a candidate is competitive, not a shoe in, but underfunded so donating to them could make a difference. But it is hard to get people whose minds don't work this way to understand that donating to a weak candidate because you like their backstory or whatever irrelevant criteria.... is basically a waste of money
Did Trump engage in Insider Trading? We have a right to know. Take this action to initiate an investigation into Trump’s possible Insider Trading crimes.
This is the perfect way to make your federal campaign contribution EFFECTIVE! The idea of building a war-chest to be distributed on solid research and facts is what the DNC, DSCC, and DCCC does NOT do! That's why, as a voter registered in UTAH, I decided to contribute DIRECTLY to candidates and NOT waste my money on my state's federal office races. In 2022 and 2024, I contributed to Ossoff and Warnock, Sherrod Brown, Baldwin and Sherrod Brown ( and some House races, especially the dynamite younsters.) The SWING LEFT fund, targets House races rationally, and makes perfect sense to me! For 2025, I intend to invest in Swingleft.org/house ONLY!

If you’re going to play by the rules, you’ve already lost. Look at NC. Be ready.
Let's hope November 2026 is not too late.

How does Swing Left fit into the official Democratic Party?
