It's so good to be here, Dan. Especially good to be here talking about something other than the wild and wooly crazy things that you often ask me to talk about.

Savage Lovecast Episode 932
Great. And it is so good that you're asking this now because if you are behind, then you're only every day that goes by you are becoming more behind that this is the time is so critical to give now. People really shouldn't be delaying because as we're getting close, this election is going to come so fast.

And giving these campaigns more time to use your money makes every dollar you give more effective. Also, so important to pick a big dollar amount that you're going to give this year because a year has never been more important than this one.

Savage Lovecast Episode 932
And so you want to pick a big dollar amount and then portion out how you're going to give it and give it now and then stop feeling sort of impulsively guilty every time that somebody is coming at you for giving money.

Absolutely. And so this is the way to be strategic. The way to be strategic, I strongly recommend the website swingleft.org. And if you go to swingleft.org, you can really find a single button to donate to all of the U.S. house races across the country. I think they pick out like 10 or 15 of them that are the most likely to be really close and important for us to win.

and they will automatically spread your donation among those 15 candidates that they have selected. You don't have to do all that work. Go to swingleft.org, find their U.S. House fund, and give to those candidates with one click.

I've never heard of any of these people, but... That's okay. You can trust swingleft.org to have done the hard work that we can't do to pick out among these hundreds of U.S. House races across the country that need our money to win back the House.

It's so easy. And swingleft.org is so reliable. They do really, really careful evidence-based work. And at any moment when you're going to this website and clicking that button, they are constantly reassembling what they see and they're tracking as the most closest races to give to.

So the Senate is going to be trickier. So right now, we have this razor thin majority in the Senate, and we have seven very, very vulnerable Democrats who are up for reelection. And so it's going to be a stretch for us to hold on to the Senate, but it is possible.
Savage Lovecast
Savage Lovecast Episode 932
And even if we don't hold on to the Senate this year, we really do want to still have as many of these candidates defend their seats so that two years from now we could win back the Senate. And so again, rather than going click, click, click to each one of these U.S. Senate races, I really recommend going to swingleft.org's U.S. Senate fund, and they will automatically give to the seven U.S.

Senate races that are going to be the closest, that unfortunately this year are all defend races, but we've got to defend those seats.

I just want to put in one more plug because Pennsylvania is going to be the state that really decides this election. And there is a really, really good grassroots voter mobilization organization in Pennsylvania that's called One Pennsylvania. Their website is onepa.org, O-N-E-P-A dot O-R-G. And give them some money, too, because it's that on-the-ground grassroots mobilization organization.

that is underfunded, and that's really going to make a difference in that state, and that state is going to make a difference in the presidential election.

Will you take a sex question with me? Under duress, I will answer your sex question.

Savage Lovecast Episode 932
Oh my God, that's such a bad idea, Dan. There are so many ways in which you could do one of the most important parts of your body really, really permanent horrible harm by doing that. Parts of your penis could shrivel and die and never come back. Don't do that. That's a horrible, horrible thing to do.
Savage Lovecast
Savage Lovecast Episode 932
Oh, you know, in the same way that there's no proven ways to make your penis bigger, there are no proven ways to make your penis smaller. And people really need to just sort of like embrace and accept the penis that they have.
Savage Lovecast
Savage Lovecast Episode 932
You know, I believe in what you do, Dan. I want to support you. I think you're doing such good things. And I know that it's not easy to find doctors who will take the kind of abuse that you did.
Savage Lovecast
Savage Lovecast Episode 932
That's right. You're doing good things, Dan. I applaud you.
