      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 …

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

      People are roaring to volunteer. However, you can only do so much between your job, family, kids. Need to staff up. https://twitter.com/TheTribunate509/status/877375382860726273 …

      But I don't meet staff up the traditional US NGO way: top down. You need to staff up the current grassroots energy, interface with them.

      Yep. Funding grassroots electoral work isn't funding fly-by-night stuff. All this would take time, money, effort.https://twitter.com/AlexanderMcCoy4/status/877377434303299584 …

      Funding local infrastructure =/= giving money to people inexperienced at organizing.

          Fetishizing localism isn't the answer either.

          Which is not what I am doing. Skocpol is right: on the left, muscles of democracy have atrophied at the local level.
