Jack,

Republicans are plummeting in the polls.
They’re flailing in Congress.
Their policies are toxic. Their leader is unhinged.
And Democrats are poised to make big gains in the 2026 midterms.

But only if we don’t make the same mistakes again.

In 2024, Kamala Harris outraised Donald Trump nearly 3-to-1.
Democrats outraised Republicans in nearly every race—and still lost.

Because here’s the truth:
The right doesn’t win by raising more money. They win by investing in their message.
They’ve built a nonstop media machine—podcasts, YouTube, influencers, propaganda networks.
It runs 24/7. It never sleeps. It wins the conversation.

Democrats?
They raise billions—and blow it all on TV ads no one watches and consultants no one needs.

That’s not strategy. That’s failure.
And it keeps happening—because no one gets rich from building progressive infrastructure.

If we want to win in 2026 and beyond, we have to invest differently.
We have to fund the media ecosystem that helps every Democrat win—not just in November, but every day.

Daily Kos is doing that work. But we need your help to keep building.

P.S. Democrats are positioned to win. But not if we keep feeding the same broken machine. Help us build something that actually works.
