Many people here dislike the Republican party in general, or Trump in particular and hope they lose power in both Congress and the White House in the next election. Some people may have already volunteered their time, or donated money to either Democratic candidates, or to the party.
Lets say you found $100 in your couch cushions. You don't need the money and want to use it to try to get the Democrats back in power (in the white house and congress) . What would be the most effective way to use the money?
Democratic party
The advantage is that it allows resources to be allocated in coordination with Biden and the party's activities
Pro-Biden super PACs
Such as Priorities or Unite the Country. Wouldn't be my preference (probably a way for larger contributors to donate, but politically super Pacs can look bad), but perhaps there may be some benefit I am overlooking
The Lincoln Project
This group of anti-Trump republicans has put together some very effective ads. And being republican, it is a little harder for other republicans to claim partisanship.
Other anti-Trump republican groups
The Lincoln project isn't the only group of republicans supporting Trump. (Republican voters against Trump/Republicans for the Rule of Law)
Donate to your local Democratic candidate instead
Hoping that getting a congress critter or Senator elected provides some up-ballot support for Biden and other Democrats. Or maybe your local republican congress-critter is particularly offensive (such as Moscow Mitch) and really think he needs to be removed
Buy newspaper subscriptions
Rather than donating to the Democrats or to some supporting organization, pay for a newspaper subscription to the NY Times, Washington Post, the Guardian, your local newspaper, etc. with the idea that having robust and stable accurate news sources is useful in exposing Republican corruption.
Other
Anything I've forgotten?
ETA: I'm Canadian, so its not like I could donate to any of them. Just curious about what other people think.
