It will annoy him, sure. I don't know why a single R legislator would be spooked only by large march in Manhattan.https://twitter.com/nw3/status/860123037387157505 …

To conclude thread: FB post on how a movement might still be able to stop Obamacare repeal; even at the last minute. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1826519680695429&set=a.108673669146714.15995.100000122456753&type=3&permPage=1 …pic.twitter.com/WRMps3dxnA

Also this. If/when this passes House, *something* will quite likely pass the Senate.https://twitter.com/thegarance/status/859969902051983361 …

I won't sugarcoat. This is a paltry sum. The left/DEM donors/rich ppl are MIA. Grassroots energy not matched/helped.https://twitter.com/ckmarie/status/860484598958108673 …

There is a surge, but it is tiny, teeny compared to what has happened, what is at stake, and what the right has funded for decades.

if the expectation is that in 3-4 months left would match what right has funded for decades, that seems off, no?

The donor class could have easily coughed up what's necessary to push local organizing quickly. They didn't. They aren't panicked.

A lot of that is grassroots donations, too. Ppl are trying; those with enormous means sitting on their hands, mostly, compared to potential.

that's fair, altho would say that not all funding is disclosed & there has to be capacity to handle mass $ for local organizing. is there?

There is huge grassroots energy, and I get dumping money will lead to inefficiencies and waste. Now is not the time to worry about that.

If the donor class was properly panicked, they'd drop metrics talk and efficiency blah blah and fund. There is a time for that. Not now.

was the strategic funding on the right born of panic, or a plan?
