How do you advance political thought without billionaire $ fueling it?

And because money can swamp attention channels through repetition and reinforcement.
The biggest difference between my politics and that of Kochs and Soros is that they can afford to have theirs repeated billions of times more.

Yes, I just claiming that there’s a limit. If they go too far on any policy, organizers or media-makers will push them back. It’s whack-a-mole though. They can push on many fronts at once
