- When donating to political campaigns, small donations help candidates show broad support, while big donors provide most of the funding. So, if you give a small amount, it mainly helps them look good in statistics.
- Local and state elections often have a bigger impact on daily life than national ones. Your money can go further in local races, like school board elections, which can be decided by a small number of votes.
- Many people focus too much on national politics, forgetting that local issues are often more important for their communities. If you want to make a real difference, consider running for a local position like the school board.
