Are there ways to cut campaign funding to GOP candidates that would benefit from a well planned social media push? For example, most Democrats bank with big banks that use the profits they make from our deposits, credit card interest, loan interest & investment accounts to donate generously to Republicans. What if Democrats had a financial protest week? Moving as much Dem money as possible to banks that support Dem candidates & causes (there are several)? This “armchair activism” could potentially cut off significant funding to the GOP while encouraging more investment in Dem candidates.

I agree give smart but I would caution don't write off all longshot candidates because they will likely lose. They can drive up party voter turnout that can affect statewide elections. I saw this first hand in Pennsylvania and in reverse in Virginia with Youngkin. Do a little research into the candidates and their funding.
