I don't understand why none of the Democratic candidates — Harris, Warren, Klobuchar, Sanders, Beto, Buttigieg, none of them — went to Milwaukee or Green Bay and knocked doors for Neubauer.

It was the obvious thing to do. It would have boosted them *and* tipped a critical race.
Had they done this, and had it made the difference for Neubauer, it would have let us take over #SCOWIS next year, and ungerrymander the state ahead of 2020 — not only netting us an extra House seat but giving Democrats a stronger reason to turn out in a presidential year.
Seriously. Just a couple weeks ago, all the candidates converged on Iowa to help hold a crucial state legislative district. And it worked.

What is their excuse for not similarly going all out in Wisconsin, with a much more important race — and more important state — on the line?
I want to believe Democrats learned something from 2016. I want to believe they understand that only our blood, sweat, and tears will rebuild the Blue Wall in the Midwest.

Then shit like this happens and it's hard for me to feel like they have.
Is there a silver lining? Well, Evers is still governor, meaning we can still ungerrymander Wisconsin. Just in 2021, not 2020. And maybe this was the wake-up call Democrats needed to recognize Walkerism and Trumpism are still very much alive in Wisconsin, and need to be stopped.
