How the Democratic Party can organize and win senate and house seats going forward

[UCmeNdc]

He explained that Senate seats can no longer be won by throwing millions of dollars in television ads at the last minute.

“You have to change it through grassroots organizing,” said Brownstein. “That’s what they did in Arizona and Georgia. That’s what they didn’t do in some of the other states. And all that was television couldn’t overcome the increasing partisan alignment between presidential and Senate voting.”

“More significant was their inability to win any state in a Senate race that Trump carried at the presidential level,” he continued. “It’s a clear message in that if you contrast what happened in Iowa and South Carolina and North Carolina — states where they spent a fortune on television but ultimately lost the state — to what happened in Arizona and Georgia where they flipped the state of the presidential level after years of grass-roots organizing, I think there’s a clear path forward for Democrats.”

1. We have to do the hard work of knocking on every door.

Every door must be knocked

2. The first step is a 50 state strategy to field good candidates for each state and/or

district. All the grass roots in the world won't elect a weak candidate.We need a person with Howard Dean's skill set.

3. What's sad is that

money will continue to flow bc failing upward is the way of the walk in the donor class. It's like some mentality of not using money to actually help real people bc they might use it frivolously. "I can waste my money on my own, thank you very much!" Just effing so short-sighted.

4. What was described in the OP article was done in 2018

and that included what Demsrule86 noted - fielding candidates, and to add to it, teaching those interested in running how to do so - i.e., what forms need to be filled out, how to do petition drives to get enough to appear on the ballot, what financial filings need to be done, etc. One of the biggest to do that type of organizing back then was Indivisible.

I think that this election cycle, the big focus was removing a potential of 4 more years of a nightmare and doing so with some 22 candidates who stepped up to the plate to run.

However the video clip of Ron Brownstein's interview with Blitzer shows how Brownstein MULTIPLE TIMES contradicted himself by insisting on the BULLSHIT that "Democrats have been unable to win a Senate seat in a state won by Trump".

Then WHO the fuck is this??????????-



Or THIS????



OR THIS???



OR THIS????



OR THIS???



OR THIS???



OR THIS???



OR EVEN THIS???



ALL of them are DEMOCRATS who WON Senate seats (in 2018) in states that were won by Trump in 2016.






Sometimes these people just like getting up there and talking to hear themselves talk and they are brought on to play into the fucking "Democrats can't" narrative.
