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.

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 …

If I'm doing the numbers correctly, I disagree. Dems spent ~$1M per house seat in 2015/2016 (although that's brought down by some 0s)
Money needs to go into organizing... There is so little money going into organizing.
Lots going on that is not Indivisible. There are many other groups raising money for organizing. Needs to be more but this isn't all
I know. But it is a telling example, that is why I give it.
And for once Dem-aligned groups are pooling data on organizing and coming up with long-term plans. Again, need more but it's happening
