I'm going to donate $25 to RightSidePAC. Republicans for Biden.

I'm not doing it because I think it will help Biden. I'm doing it because I think our democracy needs two healthy, moral political parties, even if only one of them (us) has the right ideas.

...is get your personal info into the mailing lists of conservative organizations, even if they're "Never Trump"-er types. Once Trump is out of office, you'll be getting mailings from the Rubios, Cruzes, Cottons, and DeWines of this world.

Better yet to just donate to Biden's campaign.

And, while we may need "two healthy, moral political parties," neither of them is the modern-day Republican Party who, even before Trump, happily gave us Reagan, Dubya, Cheney, Gingrich, Robertson, Buchanan, McConnell, etc., etc.
