ICYMI: the grassroots movement for Bernie 2020 gets underway on 4/27! #OrganizewithBernie Host an event: bsanders.us/host
I could not be more excited about the level of enthusiasm we're seeing already among volunteers everywhere—or about the incredible team that’s coming together to support them! Over the moon that I'll get to work w/ @BeccaRast, @hannahafertig, @_coleedwards & @YongJungC every day.
Also, read this story from @ryangrim about Becca's work in Pennsylvania if you want to be inspired by the power of organizing! theintercept.com/2018/09/15/jes…

Always expect the establishment to consolidate and fight dirty.
Don’t get caught flat-footed. Don’t spend down all your cash early—anticipate an air war at the end and be ready to go point for point. Invest in experienced local organizers, not $$$ subpar consultant paid field.
Also: it’s not either/or with persuasion and turnout, or TV and field.

Outsider primary campaigns need to both inspire unlikely voters to turn out (and invest in turnout) AND win over enough normie partisan Dems. Need to be competitive on TV & have a strong ground game.
The bowl of shit comment was going to be a major challenge no matter what, especially in that district, but unfortunately the campaign was not prepared to respond when that inevitable attack was made.

One of the most depressing things about the debate over tactics this week has been how the people ceaselessly berating AOC seem to have no interest whatsoever in what it will take to actually build support for Medicare for All at the district level.
There is no moonshot tactic that can compensate for a huge imbalance in political power.
Regardless of whether the Squad pursues a scorched Earth strategy against Democratic leadership, we don't currently have the votes for Medicare for All. I think even proponents of the floor vote idea admit this.

If McConnell actually feared @SenSchumer would pack the court, eliminate the filibuster, and add new states, he wouldn't ram a justice through.

He's calling Schumer's bluff because he doesn't believe Schumer will have the votes—or the nerve—to do those things.
McConnell understands that vague threats about every option being "on the table" are completely toothless as long as the Senate Democratic caucus is full of relics like @SenFeinstein who stubbornly refuse to exercise their power, no matter what the stakes.
And of course, even if the Democratic caucus does align around some democratic reforms, it will mean nothing if a new SCOTUS justice hands Trump a second term by stopping the counting of mail-in votes—something Trump has already told us he's going to call on the courts to do!

Bernie 2020 alums are up to great things! Short thread signal boosting several great efforts that have recently launched:
1) Many key staff who ran large innovative programs on the Bernie organizing, comms, data, and tech teams have put together a set of resources and a support community for left campaigns and organizations. See @LatchmiGopal's thread for info!
2) Bernie alums have launched a new texting service, Scale to Win. The people behind this have spent years running the largest texting programs in politics, and have created a product (specialized version of Spoke) that's priced far below the competition. scaletowin.com

.@TheDuhalde with some thoughts on Super Pacs and campaign finance challenges for the left.

jacobinmag.com/2020/06/social…
One thing to reiterate here that tends to get lost in talk about Super Pacs: just because they allow unlimited contributions and spending does not mean that they are always operating on a large scale.
If a political group wants to spend more than a few thousand dollars on a federal race, there's a very good chance they'll need to form a Super Pac. And staff time can count as an in-kind contribution, so they can't just allocate unlimited staff capacity either.

Following Bowman's victory, which was aided by independent spending, and in light of Warren's bullshit attack earlier this year on DSA/Sunrise/Dream Defenders/MTR/CPD/PA/PDA/OR, I hope the left can move beyond simplistic ideas about certain legal structures being inherently evil.
We see confusion and charges of hypocrisy on Twitter every time a left-wing group forms any kind of campaign spending entity.
Some people here dragged JD a few weeks ago for forming a hybrid/Super Pac, but I for one am happy that they raised the money to counter Engel on TV and defend Bowman from this actually bad Super Pac: theintercept.com/2020/06/15/gop…

Bowman faced $2 mil on TV against him, half negative.
