Mass action and electoral organizing isn't an either/or. The energy they create builds on each other. We don't have to choose one or the other. In fact, choosing one or the other is a huge mistake.
(I quote-tweeted here not to shame Sam, or to cause a pile-on, but because his views aren't his alone—I figured it made more sense to address them once in public than in half a dozen different subthreads.)
I mean, we know that progressives are pissed off and energized by the Kavanaugh confirmation, right? Doesn't it make sense EVEN AS A MATTER OF PURE ELECTORAL POLITICS to validate and amplify that anger over the course of the next month?
Anyway, as luck would have it, I answered Sam's question in my speech today. Video coming soon.
