Yes yes yes. I have run a 24/7, 365 operation since I got elected. I have a permanent campaign HQ that rotates between off-year and on-year organizing.
People thought it was nuts when I first set it up. I said you’re setting yourself up for disaster if you only show up 6 mos before an election.

We also treat “the campaign” as if it’s something that occurs June-November. What the right knows and excels at is that the campaign exists every day, all year around. Dems need to do a better job of touting their legislative wins and bashing the gop for opposing popular bills that help real people.

When you put it in the work, IT SHOWS!
I tried to infiltrate. But they check Social media! Kicked out
I have a feeling we need to get back to that. But then I've been arguing with my fellow Gen Xers about that my ENTIRE LIFE....and I mean entire....I was political in elementary school.

Always. They don't stop. So we can't stop.

I recommend running on fixing Citizens United, personally. Would help the whole party and is pretty popular!
i am so sick of them and decades of their fuckery
All voters heard was their side and had no idea they who Kamala was.
What does this mean in simple terms for people who don't live/breathe politics?
Although that is a perfectly valid suggestion.
Current Dem leadership is stuck in the 80s-90s, and perhaps that's because they're all so old. But they do NOT understand modern media cycles.
You don't "start campaigning" any longer, you MAINTAIN a campaign.
I'm glad we have Jared Moskowitz, or I'd be extra jealous of your district.
“ You’re there to do a job” and it shows!! Well Done! AOC!!💙
(As long as we agree on what her goal REALLY is.)
They have to put pundits, surrogates, and candidates into these spaces they have so far ignored and they need to start NOW
Capitalism is crushing the country, stop contributing.
Money is the love language of capitalism - let’s break up.
At least my view from across the Atlantic…
Just some naive wishful thinking!
Even my 15YO daughter in the UK reported to me that “Biden had been a bad president” in 22 due to stuff that had crept into her feed…
