If he’s that good, and a progressive hero, can he not stay raising money for the cause, stumping for candidates, etc?
Like it or not, the Dems gotta change man. A lot of people- especially young people- don’t see a difference between the two parties.
1. Cuz the Dems are god awful at branding, messaging, and fighting fire with fire.
2. They have a thin ass bench, and (right or wrong) its always the same folks. Joe America hates Pelosi. Doesn’t matter how ignorant Murricans are. Dems all over have to distance themselves from her. Hilary, Pelosi, etc- the party needs new faces.
This dude ran unapposed for 20 years in a district he didn’t even live in.
The woman who beat him is inspiring, and has a very clear platform.
Yet, we got Dems sobbing that they lost a fund raiser.
So...let him fund raise.
It’s always the same story. “We need the Clintons, they raise money. We need Pelosi, she raises money”
Well, let them. From behind the scenes. And support progressive candidates with a message.
Let homeboy run the DNC for all I care.
But get behind these candidates, especially when their future looks so bright.
Or, continue to ignore the base, the youth, and folks who just don’t vote....continue to support the same old money makers....run on “look how bad the other side is”....celebrate meaningless shit like the popular vote and Obama’s Netflix deal.
Maybe that will suddenly work.
