I think there is unprecedented grassroots energy; I think money would be somewhat wasted but would also help things go to next level.

A sane response would be to just get started as best one could, and as fast as one could, knowing the issues. It's May 2017...

Worth noting that there is apparently a new organization aimed at getting monied left involved. http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/04/politics/clinton-pac-resistance-trump/ …

Also that there's clear desire among many in the grassroots to keep rich donors OUT of the Resistance, worried it becomes controlled by rich

They shouldn't try to control; they should cough up money in hopes world doesn't become fully destabilized. They're on earth with us.

Sure. But it's hard getting the Bernie wing to trust anything funded by big donors after 2016.

I have no idea what rich Dem donors want. But aligning them with progressive grassroots won't be simple.

I understand this. They should fund the grassroots; not come with their own ideas and control. Treat it as an emergency.

If rich people were eager to give money to protect poor people without any hope of something in return, we wouldn't be in this situation.

I understand this; but they are on this planet with all of us. If they are not panicked, they are sleepwalking.

Seems like the next goal of the Resistance should be finding ways to get more rich and powerful people involved.

Worth noting there was a bit of this during the travel ban. Activists focused on corporate responsibility. https://www.bustle.com/p/wallets-not-marches-are-now-the-best-way-to-resist-donald-trump-36308 …pic.twitter.com/CqoEmLaoeE
