2020 Madness: a game that raises money for the eventual Democratic candidate

Our goal is to raise $1m for the eventual Democrat candidate, while getting folks more engaged with what’s happening in national politics. We don’t take a cut, 100% of donations go to the eventual candidate fund.<p>Why: Everyone has their current favorite Dem candidate, but we can all agree on one thing — we have to defeat Donald Trump. As the candidates spend money to compete, Trump continues to fill his war-chest. We want to help give the eventual candidate a better shot.<p>In addition to raising money, we’re hoping to also get more people engaged with what’s happening in national politics -- kind of how fantasy sports gets people paying more attention to sports.<p>There’s still a TON of work to do to make this awesome, but we decided to launch it early to get feedback and ideas. Please let us know any suggestions or questions!
