In my experience political donations make more of an impact on politicians than social media. AIPAC is incredibly effective and it is ramping up donations to keep politicians supportive of Israel in their seats: https://readsludge.com/2024/01/02/aipac-makes-record-donatio...

AIPAC is also going to try to take out most of the members of the progressive squad, unsure if they will be effective, but they are spending $100M to do so: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/11/squad-primary-ba...

AIPAC organizes, effectively, widespread public support. Cross AIPAC and you may lose many voters.

Donations are valuable because politicans need money to get votes. Again, it comes down to votes.
