Fundraising costs gobble up most of the funds raised. Billions are spent on TV ads that have virtually no impact. Candidates may win or lose—but the consulting class always wins.
It’s still worth repeating to inoculate ourselves against it. I hope you’re right. However the proof will be in the pudding as the saying goes. And there’s still plenty to worry about. I see a lot of neo liberal and neo con consultancy types screening Doom and Gloom about anything even remotely DSA adjacent. They’re still going to try. So we still need to be ready
I’d really like to know who got people like Neera Tanden and Sarah Longwell to start attacking Hasan Piker. It sure looks like they’re being paid to be this focused on him.
Honestly I think Neera would do it for free. To be fair I never really heard of her name much myself until here recently. Sam and the MR crew as well as silly and Billy here in Kansas City have been talking about her a lot of late.
Longwell on the other hand. She has a long and storied history of losing advice.

That’s not how the saying goes. “The proof of the pudding is in the eating.”
Fair enough 🙃
