About small donors: say 1000 people give me $1, and one person gives me $1000

Most of my donors are small donors

The average donation is $2

The median donation is $1

All well and good, but -

I hope Paris doesn't hijack tonight's debate.

It's a terrible thing that happened, and I can't imagine the pain of the surviving loved ones - but -

we should stay focused on other things that we can do something about -

like how many Americans killed with guns so far this year

like how many Americans are working multiple jobs and just not getting by

like how many Americans are strapped with student loans

like an onrushing climate crisis
