You did your part.

You donated. You volunteered. You fought like hell to save democracy.

And Democrats? They had more money than they’ve ever had:

• Kamala Harris outraised Donald Trump nearly 3-to-1: $1.15 billion to $463 million.
• Democratic Party committees outraised their GOP counterparts by $600 million.
• In race after race—Ohio, Montana, Texas—Democrats raised record-shattering sums.

And yet… Republicans still won.

Why? Because instead of building something real, they blew billions on TV ads, bloated consultants, and the same broken strategy that’s been failing us for years.

The GOP has a media machine.

They’ve spent 20 years building influence—podcasts, YouTube networks, influencers, social media propaganda. That’s how they win—even when they raise dramatically less.

So here’s the truth:

🔥 Democrats will keep losing until we build the media infrastructure to fight back.

Stop funding failure. Start building power. 🔥

Daily Kos is doing exactly that. And we need you with us.

Campaigns end. This doesn’t. The conservatives win with media. It’s time we match them.

Keep fighting,

P.S. Republicans didn’t win because they raised more. They won because they built something that lasts. It’s our turn.
