    People don’t believe me but I still hear a lot of within-reach House races that are struggling to fundraise—grassroots shows up and donates but given have neglected Dem electoral infrastructure has been, may not be enough.https://twitter.com/nate_cohn/status/940786385929285632 …

    Incredibly, the fight for control of the US Senate in 2018 should now be considered a toss-up

        zeynep tufekci Retweeted Kevin M. Kruse

        Electoral infrastructure is where it’s absolutely at in terms of capacity building, and Dems have drastically underfunded and ignored that part for years, while funding TV plus consultant class type work.https://twitter.com/kevinmkruse/status/940941000696049665 …

        Maybe instead of blowing money on pointless TV ads urging Republicans to impeach their own party's president, liberal billionaires could fund the NAACP's 2018 get-out-the-vote campaigns.

        TV ads are mostly either lighting money on fire, or enriching the consultant class which takes a big cut, or vanity projects. Organizing young people (yes, they do need to be organized) otoh.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://twitter.com/seanmcelwee/status/940819385412980738 …

        It’s always the winning strategy but need to start getting ready early, not with last minute money/volunteers.https://twitter.com/boendercarol/status/940950789253730304 …

        Did you see the thread on how the NAACP got out voters yesterday? It was the winning strategy.

        I hear this all the time, and, for example, @techsolidarity has been specifically focusing on this and, surprise, it is not hard to find within-reach but drastically underfunded districts on the Dem side.https://twitter.com/Marge4Congress/status/940993815652921344 …

        TY for highlighting this! Campaigns in low-income rural districts like #CA08 (Joshua Tree) struggle to even hit $100k. No Dem before me has ever raised more than $36k & the state/national party has never invested in electoral infrastructure, candidate development or GOTV here.

        See here for an a NYC event this Saturday that brings such candidates for a fundraiser. I interviewed a few of these folks, and they often cite lacking money for building infrastructure as biggest obstacle.https://twitter.com/TechSolidarity/status/940979156854063104 …

        And on Saturday, we're holding a big, beautiful fundraiser in NYC for four 'sleeper' Congressional candidates from across the country. Our special host will be David Simon. Spread the word, and give them a big welcome. https://techsolidarity.org/events/nyc_dec_16_fundraiser.html …
