    Last poll I saw had Tester up 6 points here in Montana.

    Even if that’s based on a small sample poll you need to be giving people hope that their vote matters. Save the doomerism, pessimism, realism, or whatever else you call what you’re doing until after the election.

      Senate will be tight in any realistic scenario. Tester in Montana is the most likely of the three I listed to come through and I donated to his campaign.

      I will be voting against Ted Cruz and I am volunteering on weekends to help Collin Allred.

      If anyone reading this is wondering if it’s worth it, I think it absolutely is worth it to donate what you can, and volunteer how you can.

      Voting is the bare minimum. Please do so.

        How does volunteering help?

        These campaigns are raising millions of dollars from all sorts of rich people. Why should you give them your labor for free?

          Because paid operatives are expensive and knocking on doors is the most effective way to mobilize voters.
