This is just a bad take. Things we can probably agree on:
-Electoral organizers are not community organizers
-Canvassers are not organizers
But @OrganizerMemes is right tho. If you’re moving people to volunteer for an election that builds power and that is organizing.

And to say there’s no value in electoral organizing is just an opinion, and not a particularly good one. If you see government as a potential tool for change you can clearly see the value in electoral organizing.
Can it be done poorly and this have no value? Sure!
