    People often don't believe me when I say, even after all the "Resistance" activity, fundraising remains a huge challenge on the Dem side for progressive candidates. Saturday NYC event, trying to connect blue state money to underfunded competitive races.https://twitter.com/benwikler/status/941694266493022208 …

    NYC friends: check out this awesome fundraiser TOMORROW for Democratic Congressional challengers in four rural House districts. If we can flip Alabama, it's time to go big. Plus special guest. Should be great! RT to spread the word. https://techsolidarity.org/events/nyc_dec_16_fundraiser.html … pic.twitter.com/COrqF5mec7

        Very often, there is funding for blue state, even non-competitive races and people don't show up to fund competitive races elsewhere. The right, however, often does this top-down, billionaires end up funding electoral infrastructure. No real left version.

        When I travel, the most common refrain I hear from progressive, especially first-time candidates that are springing up everywhere is.. they can't hire field or GOTV which you need to do know for 2018. Right version=already building this infrastructure for many many years.

        This is true. The imbalance in existing electoral infrastructure is not minor.https://twitter.com/Sister_District/status/941775734523043840 …

        100% true. Dems get distracted by “shiny object” races while neglecting down ballot, strategic races that really need the help. Republicans have been quietly but aggressively pursuing those races for years—it’s why they control 26 state legislatures and Dems only 7. @zeynep https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/941772714045595648 …

        You just have to look at state legislatures to see the difference across the nation. Republicans control legislatures in 32 states; Dems just 14.https://twitter.com/SampathPanini/status/941778608477089793 …

        There is gerrymandering, and there is also potentially competitive races that just aren't being challenged, and/or are deeply underfunded.https://twitter.com/RuamiGrey/status/941785285255417856 …

        Very true. I voted in school board race first time ever & am in a VERY red county. Didn't think Ds could win, but wanted the thrill of voting against Rs. Was SHOCKED that 3 out of 4 Ds on ballot won! Now I can't wait for next time I can vote & I will ALWAYS vote any chance I get
