We need to win the House at least, and preferably both houses.

If I can count on the D candidate to vote for a Dem majority leader, and they have a good chance to beat the R candidate, and we need that seat (or to keep that seat, if it's a threatened incumbent), I am okay with donating to them.

We need the fucking gavels to end the disaster happening to this country.
