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 …

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 …

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 …
