    On moving Democrats to the left, the big issue is money, not media. As long as party relies on big donors will be a comprador party.

        Which is why I think Sanders' success with small donors offers a way out, for the Dems and, ultimately, for American politics.

        Have yet to hear how that can translate locally, particularly when Dems are both primaried and opposed by a GOP with no similar limits.

        It's too bad the left couldn't be bothered to vote for the candidate who have nominated a SC Justice overturning Citizens United!!!

        Like your work Jeet, but your prescription here is a suicide pact for Dems and misdiagnoses the problem.

        Speaking as someone privy to some big donor convos, this is totally wrong. Lots of $ want Dems further left, but party fears votes not there

        100%! Media is where they spend their donor money.

        Just cuz you take money from big donors doesn't mean you have to be beholden to them. Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire.
