the congressional leadership strategy of running on health care did not work, AOC gave a constructive interview noting the ways in which moderate Democrats did not maximize their own advantages to their own detriment, and the response is to, i guess, double down on failure. https://twitter.com/radiofreetom/status/1325305143395553281

One helpful thing here would be if people got out of their feelings and actually read what Ocasio-Cortez said, which wasn’t “adopt my views” but “build campaigns that can actually reach voters where they are, especially digitally.” https://twitter.com/jaxstl/status/1325458360657965060

As I understand it, AOC’s message is this: There’s nothing stopping moderate Democrats from building institutional capacity, adopting cutting-edge techniques, and modernizing their campaign infrastructure, and progressives are willing to help if they want it.

also, if you think it is “too early” for this kind of talk, Georgia will have a double-barrel run off election to DETERMINE CONTROL OF THE SENATE in just two months. whether or not Democrats can substantially improve their campaigning may determine the course of the next 4 years.
