5. Do Whatever You Want. I'll Do the Same.

But, don't come here to tell us not to donate to the DNC or any other Democratic organization. Nope.

I see a lot of ads from organizations and candidates because I donate. I'm on lists of active donors. Guess what, though. I don't see many requests to donate in my emails or texts. The emails go automatically to my spam folder and the texts are automatically blocked because their numbers aren't on my list of contacts.

I donate to individual candidates and to a very select group of organizations. I don't recommend those recipients to others necessarily, nor do I ever tell anyone who NOT to donate to. That would be beyond rude, actually.

Donate as much as you can to whomever you think will actively turn your donations into votes. Don't donate to organizations that work on projects with which you disagree.

But don't come here and tell other Democratic and Progressive voters who should get their donations. Like I said, that's rude. It assumes that you know more than they do. I doubt that very much.

If you don't like what I'm saying, you can put me on ignore, because I'm going to keep right on doing what I do.
