16. I don't have deep pockets either and typically give to select progressive candidates.....

NEVER to the DNC, DCCC, etc. Those are too right-wing for me and support a whole lot of candidates I don't want to support or elect.

Elizabeth Warren is one of an incredibly rare number of people (like I could count the number on fewer fingers than I have on one hand) I trust to spend the money and support candidates who I'd support. If I find a large number I don't agree with, I'll stop my monthly donations to her PAC. But I have enough faith in her that I think she'll pick the best candidates for my support to go to.

So......I set up small monthly payments for a year! I'll still be able to make small donations to individual candidates, but I view funding her PAC as a smart way to fund the best candidates.
