npub1j7y0l8a499uz4z4cjvl27e2l827m9fcrqqarxklkcayl2hrnpsusf523ds (npub1j7y…23ds) they raised a shitload of small donor funds. yes, without big donors, they’d need tighter budgets, and less lavishly paid consultants. would the loss of infinite money be made up by freedom to take more populist (and genuinely virtuous) positions?

there’s definitely a tradeoff to weigh. we don’t know counterfactuals, but we do no that twice this trade-off worked out poorly. but once, with Biden, it worked out well!

it’s not easy.
