    This is a huge thing the Democratic Party needs to internalize unless they want to keep losing.

    Support and work with local groups doing actual good on the ground outside of election season, maybe, like, I dunno, fund them a little with that massive fucking warchest? Be a much better use of the money than a deluge of YouTube ads.

      expecting activism from the party is a fools errand. That is not a thing the democratic party would consider, nor is it the role of political parties in most countries.

      We need to do the activism. We need to pressure governments and individuals to do the right things, and make it more difficult to do the wrong things. That is our power. You cannot rely on someone else or some organization to do it for you.
