Richard Pildes writes in the Washington Post, Outlook
section Sunday, “Small dollars, big changes: Wedb-based donations aimed to
democratize our campaigns. They also radicalized both parties.”
The reason is becoming apparent: people who take more extreme position are
more likely to respond to pleas and “take action”. Moderates tend to ignore group pleas or speak
for themselves, more about issues than candidates. As I noted even yesterday, this is starting
to create controversy even for platforms.
People on the extremes (especially on the Left) tend
to believe they have more skin in the game.
