“What I see AOC and Bernie doing is not a messaging exercise but an organizing exercise. They are getting people comfortable with getting out of their houses and rallying together,” Green said.

imho, the most important paragraph of the article. abso-fucking- lutely!

I have now seen large trump perma-signs defaced in my crimson red area. someone got off their ass and did some trivial property damage. people are slowly becoming motivated, even deep in “trump country”.

They don’t need to revamp their party and their messaging. They need to abandon the dnc, and form a party that works for the working class. Bernie always takes that message right up to the point where he says abandoned the DNC but he’s a sheep dog and he wants to round people up and keep them in the party, prevent them from straying too far

It’s a bit fucking late for that. That was 2016.
