  Because the more people pay for something, the more a person is interested in that topic. Money is speech. And, as a personal experience, donations to political groups usually means that person is going to talk to me about that topic.
context: Little Free Libraries are not a good indicator for political discourse. Libraries in general aren't even a good indicator. 
  The only indicators that I would think show people are having honest discussion are voting rates, party/political group donations, and friendship networks that show groups that are not contiguous. >
  
  Why would political donations be a sign of healthy political discourse? Aren’t small-money donations through the roof the past few election cycles?
