      [continued from previous message]              Silicon Valley donors. She has argued to others that the party did not       invest early or enough in cultural talent in the last election, and that       she is trying to learn from her experience at Future Forward.              “We can’t keep running these programs late in the cycle, only to break       down after or treat these relationships as transactional and expect       success,” Ms. Irwin wrote to allies in a March email seen by The Times.       “Every day we don’t engage online is a missed opportunity — and we can’t       afford to wait.”              To some Democratic operatives, the repeated gatherings of donors to mull       such ideas has felt like a ceaseless calendar of cattle calls.              Aides to the liberal donors George Soros and Laurene Powell Jobs held an       idea-a-thon in February in Washington. This month, about 50 digital       operatives presented their proposals at a hotel in Austin, Texas, at an       event organized by Civic Resolve, a think tank backed by a Walmart heir. A       gathering hosted by Future Forward this month in Half Moon Bay, Calif.,       featured a session on “Return on Culture” that paired Nimay Ndolo, a       progressive content creator, with Jeff Lawson, a Democratic megadonor who       recently bought the satirical website The Onion.              And Mark Gallogly, a private-equity veteran and Democratic donor, has       invited contributors and operatives to the latest of a series of       gatherings on this issue on Tuesday in New York.              Mr. Flaherty, the former Harris strategist, who has been at some donor       events, said emulating the right’s success would take time.              “The key is building off what’s already resonating and investing in it,”       he said. “If it all goes into more tools for delivering poll-tested       messaging, it’ll fall flat with its audience. At that point, you might as       well just buy ads.”                     --       November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look       forward to America being great again.              We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that       stupid people won't be offended.              Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.              Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama       / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.              Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the       The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood       queer liberal democrat donors.              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
