Does anyone have thoughts or experience with the fundraising site: https://app.oath.vote .

The article talks about it but I have not tried.

    I think that sounds great for people who just want to support the Democratic Party in general. Its chief focus is on ‘impact’ of your donations.

    I support specific candidates. I don’t want to give money to Joe Manchin 2.0 just because they have a (D) next to their name, even if it adds another Democrat in the House or Senate. That seat is just going to flip Red again in the future anyways.

    I want to support candidates who are actually pushing the party in a specific (Leftward) direction, and that is explicitly not the goal of this app, which seems to be ideology-agnostic.

    It’s unclear whether this is exclusively endorsing Democratic candidates or not. I’d be more interested if it wasn’t exclusive to a single party.
