All right, friends, let's talk POLITICAL FUNDRAISING for a sec.

If you've been thinking about donating to a November race -- whether it's @JoeBiden, a Senate race, or something further downballot -- but haven't quite gotten it done yet, we're here to give you a gentle nudge.

We hear some people say, "I'll donate once Biden picks a VP," or "I'll donate when we get closer to the election" -- that's great, but the thing is, the earlier you donate to a campaign, the bigger impact your money has.

"But I can only donate like $10 to a campaign right now. Shouldn't I wait till I can save up a bit more?"

NO. $10 is GREAT. $10 given on July 16 is worth more than $10 given on Oct. 16.

Here's why:

Let's look at fundraising from one angle: STAFF.

If a campaign has more money, it can hire more staff.
More staff can recruit more volunteers.
More volunteers can recruit even more ADDITIONAL volunteers, more donors, and more VOTERS.

It snowballs.

Also: Buying ads. Joe Biden is running ads in Texas now. Texas!

More states this year are in play. Biden is spending money on ads in states that a Democratic nominee normally wouldn't, because the race is competitive there. We want them to keep doing this!

So think it over, but if you were hesitating about donating to a November race and needed a lil push, LET THIS THREAD BE THAT PUSH.

We all want to spend our money wisely. Rest assured that the earlier you donate, the more bang for your buck you'll get.

And that's that on that.

"OK, OK, I'm in. But who should I donate to?"

Well, our first suggestion is an obvious one: @JoeBiden. https://joebiden.com/
