Since “number of individual donations” (ideally high) and “average size of donations” (ideally low) seem to be frequent talking points among candidates and the press, and also relevant to getting into debates (I think), it seems like there may well be a good case for giving a token $1 to your preferred candidate(s). Very low cost and pretty low benefit. The same could be said for voting. But compared to voting, token $1 donations are possibly more effective (especially early in the process), and definitely less time-consuming.
