if all the money sent to hopeless case races because some cartoon is on the internet claiming he just needs a billion dollars and he'll beat Susan Collins were just put in a pool to pay freelance journalists travel and expenses, media landscape of this country would be orders of magnitude better - ThreadSky

I'm with you except "Susan Collins". No race against her is hopeless.

And how about all the money for Meida's Touch and the Lincoln Project, and other preaching-to-the-choir folks who achieve nothing but rage and pretty ads?

100%. I stopped donating to “we swear we will keep up the fight!” politicians who then roll over and play dead and started subscribing to independent journalism.

All of MSM is sus.

I have a nuanced philosophy re long shot races. I want folks to split the difference between “it’s a lost cause, abandon it” and “flush the kids college fund down the drain on it.”

When someone steps up to run against Marjorie Taylor Green in her R+a bazillion district, I want them to raise enough to run a respectable campaign without raising $50 million which could have been split across 50 Dems who have a real shot at flipping their seats.

Politically the fuckin nine digit number wasted on Amy McGrath wouldn’t have been any less impactful if it had been buried under Yucca Mountain

I came here to say that we might as well have just lit that $100 Million on fire.

One thing MAGA has a crystal clear grasp on is emerging media and it’s a crying shame that both Dems and institutional media are so hostile to streaming, influencers, etc.

You can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube. This is what exists now figure it out and work it!
