      MSNBC hires Will; NYT hires Stephens; Dem donor class sits on its hands, not funding organizing or media. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯https://twitter.com/tcfrankel/status/861571837259644929 …

      I mean, this story claims MSNBC desperately wants to move right, but @chrislhayes & @maddow have too high ratings.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/andy-lack-msnbc-donald-trump_us_5907422de4b0bb2d086fb7a8?ncid=engmodushpmg00000004&utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link&ICID=ref_fark …

      Let's put it in perspective. Koch bros spent about ONE BILLION in 2016 alone. @IndivisibleTeam runs on $1.6 million; most grassroots raised.

      Plain truth: there is no donor class on the D side with the requisite urgency or will to fund anything. There is a huge on on the R side.

      Local news is decimated. The only way to fix this is to fund local news. Not some meager funds aimed at innovation, research or disruption.

      Without local news, local corruption is unchecked, and that trickles upwards. Almost all ad money goes to Facebook and Google. Just truth.

      Retail politics needs energy & grassroots—and the Dems have a lot of it. It also needs staff and resources for long-term. Not being funded.

      Structural problem: Republicans and Democrats both have a base that wants to win. Only R's have people with money who really want to win.

      Trump was vastly vastly outspent and still won. Thanks to social media, enthusiastic base can actually replace a lot of $.

      He was not vastly outspent if you put in the actual amount of money from everyone, especially for organizing: from Koch to NRA.

          Do you have any numbers on that? https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/graphics/2016-presidential-campaign-fundraising/ … covers Super PACs but doesn't go into that sort of in-kind stuff.

          The campaigns aren't where things are at; neither campaign did great organizing. See this: https://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/27/us/politics/kochs-plan-to-spend-900-million-on-2016-campaign.html …
