which have become more influential. Things like Rogan and similar types.

Idiots like Nick Shirley also have influence.

Democrats as s while haven't been able to deal figure this out. Even on this site people keep looking to congressional and other officials and press conferences.

Newsom's social media mocking Trump do a lot more to help us than anyone holding a press conference and traditional tv ads.

People here are critical of some liberal youtubers and the dramatic subject lines but those were things that the right wing was doing against Biden and Harris and other democrsts and many people only see that without watching or reading.

The above things don't cost much money. So while we can still raise money it's also important to figure out ways to do things with what we have now which we didn't have or wasn't as important in previous times.
