      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 …

      Foundations are stuck on the wrong century, wrong model, and on the 501 c(3) mindset; Dem rich (like tech billionaires) either like their tax cuts and don’t really have the courage that matches their rhetoric.https://twitter.com/davidastinwalsh/status/936980689479749632 …

      Where, in your opinion, does this reluctance to build infrastructure come from?

      No I don’t mean they don’t fund lobbyists. Dem big money drastically underfunds people running for office or building electoral infrastructure.https://twitter.com/arturius13/status/936986440558366721 …

      I suspect some left-leaning rich don't like the concept of buying government. The fundamental problem here is that government is for sale. The symptom is that those who are willing to play that game end up winning.

      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 …

      Do you think that is changing, for example with groups like @NextGenAmerica @IndivisibleTeam and @letamericavote ?

      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 …

          Entire premise of this thread is broken. Lamenting tech billionaires not funding party of higher taxes on rich is a fool’s errand. Even the altruistic ones want to control how their money is spent not give it to government. See BillG, Zuck, etc

          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 …

          How many reps actually worry about the electoral consequences of their actions? Most have safe districts. Whole states are safely red. https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/936980151098859521 …
