4. The question Dems have to ask themselves is which model do they want to follow not just ideologically but in terms of party organization. Do they want to be a party beholden to 1 rich man? Or a party of many donors & volunteers? The money or the many?https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/bloomberg-democratic-nomination-buy/ …

Not really. Both Sanders and Warren have PACS.

Also, all the non-billionaire candidates do the small donor, volunteer, mobilization thing. It’s pretty traditional by now.

What would you think of this: A publicly-funded general election, and a primary funded entirely by a general fund at the DNC, which would provide equal funding to all candidates who meet some predefined viability threshold.

Which model do you think is stronger/ more likely to win ultimately?

The Bloomberg model seems to be a good way to demobilize the base. Not sure if the other model is a strong one, but the Bloomberg model has a clear problem.
