      How can "Resistance" display strength? Do harder things. Fundraiser targets weak R's who vote yes, gets 100 million in one day. Might do it.

      This is not an argument against marching or calling. You probably have to do those things just as baseline (their absence signals weakness).

      Movements falter when the get stuck on tactics & stop thinking about the underlying dynamic: how do we convey threat by building capacity?

      Unfortunately, this discussion brings out a lot of defensiveness—as if one is belittling movements. Defensiveness is not a path to strength.

      My 2¢: You want to spook the R's voting yes today? Put up a single fundraising page targeting them, raise many millions before the vote.

      Trump is meeting with Trumbull in Manhattan. What if protesters shut down Midtown? That sends a message.

      People saying the AHCA will run aground in the Senate reminds me of people saying Trump will never win election.

      Tea Party is a very successful movement. It had a real grassroots—and it was smart, strategic. But it also got funded. "Resistance"? Not so.

          I'm not sure the comparison of the Tea Party & this one funding campaign is apt. There's a lot of campaign funding already happening.

          From special elections to Dems in office to new candidates gearing up for midterms to social change groups there's a lot of fundraising.

          I there were a true appreciation of the stakes, there'd be a billion $ put into local organizing by now. Indivisible=~$1.5 mil so far TOTAL.

          There are too many dealbreakers in Dem coalition. It's going to be hard if leadership insists on purity in edge issues like climate change.

          Minorities and the white working class see climate change as an edge issue. More important things to talk about, like healthcare.
