If you want people to donate to your political campaign even though you won’t play favorites like the other guy will
The problem here is not about whether or not you play favorites but how you can demonstrate that you are likely going to play favorites in the future. A politican who has a lunch where they chat with their largest donor and then does what the donor tells them to do is also demonstrating loyality.
You only need to signal loyality via symbolic action when you can’t provide value directly.
