Dems need to be more wise about where we spend our money

8. Sometimes money shows support and appreciation for what a candidate is doing.

We absolutely would not have the two Senate seats in Georgia without the work of Stacey Abrams -- period, full stop. And there has already been articles written about how Beto helped reverse the notion that the southern border areas of Texas were going red. Neither Abrams nor Beto won, but they at least set the stage for current and future Democratic wins in their state.

And it's funny you bring up Barnes as a candidate where money should have instead been spent, since I have said elsewhere that I believe he was arguably our worst performing candidate, all things considered. I don't know that more money would have fixed his inherent problems. His competitors in the Democratic primary basically backed out and let him run unopposed to win the nomination and he did absolutely nothing with it. Poor campaigner, poor fundraiser, just not a good candidate, especially for that state.
