I think the money to fund these would be there in a heart beat. Not only from the wealthy left but from many upper middle class - people with disposable income who are bored with the deluge of Act Blue requests that simply become annoying, especially when the funding doesn’t appear to deliver results
We must see the DNC respond to what we The People want. Still heartbroken over Bernie Sanders being taken from us.
The excuse that the Republicans won’t let us must stop.
The Politicians must DO for us.
BTW, the Jamie Raskin “Class” with Brian Tyler Cohen on YouTube, and similar educational spots, are invaluable we need a healthy diet of these to be consumed.
Jamie Raskin is a great advocate , but when he was on Maher b4 the election he seemed totally oblivious and pie in the sky about the fascists on the march. Maher (who I cannot stand) kept asking him, yeah a Constitutional amendment sounds nice BUT WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? Biden and Kamala just seem to have rolled over for these monsters and have hope that the American people will see how reasonable they are with the peaceful transfer of power, meanwhile Trump has taken over and maybe there won't be elections ever again. Mehdi Hassan is really good, I have stopped watching MSNBC for the most part because they bashed Biden and it's all the same drivel all day/night. We need young fresh voices like Adam Mockler. He's liberal without being a whiny baby or caricature of a liberal. Tennessee Brando is good too. I believe Meidas Touch is a good start for this kind of thing. Politics girl is great too. I liked her on CNN, although Cable news is unwatchable now. Katy Tur, Chris Hayes blech. Maddow is ok, but preachy We need people who aren't afraid to be brash and are straight up. We are under attack and had better mobilize quick to combat this. I love Buttigieg he did great on Jubilee. That format was really engaging.
That's exactly the point - a bottomless reservoir of wealthy reactionary money is fueling all of the above, and the tricky bit for a progressive Dem breakout - if only on a small scale - is funding, and how do they go to deep-pockets supporters whilst simultaneously arguing against wealth accrual, massive inequities, unfair tax breaks, yadda-yadda? Go the small-donor route? Well, that's where it's at today, and absolutely cannot compete on scale...the great conundrum: attack the class from whom one is trying to obtain funding. Solve that, we're in business.
I’m perfectly willing to help fund a “left/sane” network through monthly/yearly subscriptions, but we need someone like Mark Cuban to help us build the infrastructure. I’ve been listening to progressive radio for decades and they’ve been screaming this the entire time. Free Speech TV (FSTV) runs in donations from the public. They’re constantly begging for money. You NEVER see this on the right because it’s funded BIGLY! We need help!
Having said all that, the examples of Meidas and Zeteo, coming literally out of nowhere to gain billions of hits in a short period of time is very heartening, and can serve as an organizing/funding template to begin to fill progressive space.
We need wealthy lefties to step up.

Yes, yes, yes.

Bernie was just reelected to another six-year term in the Senate

Oh , yes . I was flooded , flooded with text messages.
