      Poking the hornet’s nest: A good way to burn a lot of cash on nothing is to hand it to self-started organizers.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/877346733679890432 …

      I get why #GA06 was important. But local organizers in winnable districts building real infrastructure are STARVED for funds. Do that next? https://twitter.com/Redistrict/status/877344690718232576 …

      Absolutely there needs to be infrastructure on the ground. That was the lesson the RNC learned for 2016.

      But people being energized and wanting to do *something* tends to waste a lot of money and effort without results.

      There are things worst than wasting money. If we had a time machine, there would be a way to do this without wasting money.

      We are wasting money on so many things. Building the infrastructure of democracy seems to be a reasonable thing to waste some money on.

      Unfortunately, many funders think like you. Yes, some money will wasted because they didn't fund this 10 years ago. But alternative is +

      ..that we will lose what we have left of a liberal(ish), stable democracy, and every year wasted means a deeper hole to climb out of.

      I agree that parties should build infrastructure. Disagree with those who think that means funding grassroots to do what it thinks is best.

      They worked with grassroots, had huge field operation, large DNC and DCCC support. What more could they have done? https://m.mic.com/articles/180460/democrats-and-progressives-on-jon-ossoffs-defeat-we-left-it-all-on-the-field#.CONDerE1s …

      Not put $50 million into one district. Sure, I get the important of GA06. Put in $5 million. Put rest into 10 very winnable 2018 districts.

      As I travel, I find grassroots energy burning out as people try to recruit candidates for 2018 after day job and family. Will hit wall.

          I study social movements—this energy will dissipate unless infrastructure to support it is built soon. And a competent Trump-type will come.
