Websites, radio stations, podcasts, and so forth ought to be stood up by party members with access to money—the Harris campaign and associated groups, by the way, spent about $5 billion losing this election—particularly if they can replace genuine local news that has been gutted by private equity and Facebook, or if they are centered on subjects typically neglected by liberals like sports or gaming. The core strategy is to set up publications with progressive views but likely to have broader appeal. Honest partisanship should be the standard, rather than a pretend above-it-all “objective journalism” that in practice means bending reality completely beyond recognition to benefit Donald Trump.

    You can always add a donate button without paywalling anything. There’s nothing wrong with having one at the end of each post. It’ll only push users away if you make it flashy or sticky.

    Label it “buy me a coffee” and it signals it’s more of a tip than an attempt to monetize.
