A lot of people are being played.

Whether it's Occupy Democrats or overly prolific tweeters with big follower numbers, you may be hooked on people who just want to monetize you.

Who exactly are these people you are reading? What are their credentials? Their motives? Are they posting original material and analysis or simply copying others' work? Are they just pumping outrage?

Be especially careful who you give money to. Grifting operations span the political spectrum.

@voltronic THIS. And know what money you do give us going to. Be very skeptical of someone who needs money to "keep spreading the message" and nothing more. There's plenty of great people spreading the message who don't need cash. Put your money to work in tangible places like getting out the vote, research with status updates, material support for those in need. If someone wants money to "spread the message" are they building infrastructure or just trying to make a career out of your handouts.
