1. It's come to my att. that some people blame individual candidates for the Ds underperformance in the congressional map. Just like it's not the fault of progressives, BLM, OR moderate issues, it's not the fault of candidates or individual campaigns, folks.

These campaigns are
2. run under basic strategic maps brought to them by the DCCC/DSCCC/DLCC & imposed on the campaigns. If the campaigns want the help, they must accept these imposed "rules" from their on, messaging, ads, direct mailers- its ll set by the party's strategists. That's why MY ire is
3. directed, bc the strategic approach being crafted from the "C-suite" (executive office/corporate offices) in the partry's orgs, despite being research-based, is producing subpar outcomes electorally & needs to be overhauled. The frustration is that this need has been clear
4. for a long while, and yet, it appears the party is slow to respond. The frustration comes from that- the failure to respond has come at a high price and it was an avoidable mistake! So now we find ourselves at another inflection point, similar to ones I've documented in the
5. in the past, where what we would hope to see IS reform. Thus far, the public debate as to "what went wrong" completely misses the mark. What went wrong is the Dem Party's electioneering strategy, which can and must begin its modernization process, today. It must do so or it
6. the 2022 midterm cycle will see Ds lose House seats. Those changes must come from the top-down. The grassroots of the party is actually very healthy right now, esp in terms of factionalism. If misplaced blamed like we see right now continues though, one of their best assets
7. will be spoiled, further advantaging the GOP. So if you are reading this, please understand, campaigns, esp the high level swing campaigns, have their strategies imposed on them by the party orgs. VERY imp that we push the party orgs to modernize/reform.
