Our collective revenue is way down, but our collective influence may be way up. It’s hard to know how much influence we have. I’d like to be able to pay my utility bills (the air conditioning is a pain), but I’d much rather rout Joe Lieberman out of office and have people take notice. Buy an ad if you have something to hawk. Otherwise, donate to Ned Lamont. Either way, don’t take this thing of ours for granted.
