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.
