Much more important than organization is outreach. If you're trying to
get a political message out, you have to go where the audience is, and
that means Facebook as much as anywhere these days, despite the whole
"organic reach" stupidity.  It would be good for people publishing
political messages on Facebook to retain the option of locational
anonymity, even in cases where they're using an account under a real name.
