Democratic side is *still* not funding electoral infrastructure anywhere near the Repub ecosystem. Infrastructure can’t just run on a grassroots on fire. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://twitter.com/jhweissmann/status/936777778401181697 …

Yep, enormous amount of grassroots energy, and new groups. They’re all drastically underfunded. Just the Koch brothers alone funded down ballot (aka electoral infrastructure) to ~1 billion in 2016. Nothing like that with Dems.https://twitter.com/wandinston/status/936987848644939776 …

Impeachment—whatever its merits may or may not be as a strategy, and I don’t think people are throwing the politics— requires winning elections across the country. https://twitter.com/darinself/status/936989131338633216 …

The Dem base is on fire. It’s not being supported to do what it could do given it’s numbers and diffusion. It takes a lot of work to rebuild the (one-sided) abandoned civic fabric.https://twitter.com/brandontlocke/status/936990679804383238 …

I’m pointing this stuff out. Right rhetoric matches right spending; lofty left rhetoric does not.https://twitter.com/carnage4life/status/936990872670842881 …

Dem/left civic infrastructure is decimated, Repub/right isn’t. Dems often don’t grapple with this reality. NRA, for example, is powerful because its well-funded, organized grassroots are led by ruthlessly strategic leadership—not campaign contributions. https://twitter.com/thumbsopposed/status/936999737571663872 …

There are many gerrymandered barriers but also many places they could be made to care, but aren’t being challenged.https://twitter.com/mdarbyreid/status/937000555934769152 …

EVERYBODY likes buying the government. EVERYBODY. It's what they do with it after they've bought it that matters....

There's generally not the same direct ROI on the left. For big money on the right it's a direct investment that pays off handsomely.

“11 families who spent a total of $205M on federal races in 2016 could save as much as $67.5B just from repeal of the federal estate tax.” No similar direct ROI for big money on left. http://bit.ly/2BKChf9 via
