      If you think this grassroots energy will somehow naturally turn the tide in the country under these anemic funding conditions: not likely.

      High $ donors on left still focused on 501c3's. M/billionaire self-ID'ed "biz disruptors" natural fit to fund #Resistance. We need closers.

      Most important for political work. Grassroots energy can do a lot, but will dissipate without funded infrastructure.https://twitter.com/StanfromSD/status/877356240778674177 …

      This is so true. Academics who want to do anything related to conservative causes can get gobs of money. Liberals will send you a sticker. https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/877348550174048256 …

      For example, just returned from Lancaster, to study grassroots organizing by @lancstandsup. Deep organizing. Starved for pennies. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Did interview on how lack of decision making tech hobbles movements. So many people messaged me: "that's us". @Loomio? Starved for pennies.

      Whenever I travel, talk to movement people aboutmy book, so many people say "that's us." Well, that's because this played out elsewhere.

      Dems are riding a wave of admin incompetence/missteps. If you don't build or fund infrastructure and bring in grassroots, that won't last.

      1-The right in the US walks the walk of organizing, the left mostly does not. 2-Incompetence can and will be replaced with competence.

      Local infrastructure is the way to build political power, outside of occasional presidential win & its coattails. https://twitter.com/mrscience_/status/877371335965425664 …

          People on the left think the military community is irredeemably conservative. Not true. Obama won vets against McCain. Diverse.

          Despite what you may think from Twitter, at the local level, Bernie & Hillary folk do work together. They're all similarly running on fumes.
