In 2016, I started with a zero fundraising platform to test the limits of media (especially social media).
The conclusion was that media largely fails in what its role should be...
Modern communication and interconnection could almost completely eliminate the need for fundraising in successful campaigns but that won't happen without overcoming bias in media, encouraging coverage of unknown candidates, and developing ideas/methods of communicating and fairly rating ideas (especially via social media) when many people don't want reality in their politics...
The alternative to fundraising is clearly communication (via modern connectivity). The question is: How do we make this modern asset level the (horrifically distorted) playing field?
