It’s not really worth it to donate to a political campaign anymore. The Kochs and Soroses of the world have virtually unlimited means to drown out your voice.

I don’t entirely disagree with your main point, but there are local and national causes and politicians that can use financial support. Ideally we wouldn’t have to do it, but as things stand it’s not a terrible idea.
