I volunteered at county Dem HQ and was tasked with texting Dem voters who hadn't shown up at the polls by noon. Each page had maybe 50 names on it. And only 3 or 4 voters typically voted. It was a disaster.

Maybe now the party will learn that guilting and harassing people doesn't work. If I get an unsolicited text from a campaign, it makes me significantly less likely to vote for that candidate. I'm not going to reward that sort of tactic.

So… what do you propose to do instead with respect to organizing?

Encouraging the DNC to hold primaries and take their thumb off the scale would be a good start. Don't call me. Call them.
