In my view, people are spending too much time arguing over what we could change about our policies to improve with nonwhite voters.
There's no clear evidence voters rejected our policies. There is clear evidence we lost voters because we just never went to their neighborhoods.

Like, it is fair to discuss which voters may or may not be open to progressive messaging, and how we can do a better job of disarming GOP attacks about socialism and culture wars.
But all that seems beside the point if the problem is we didn't even talk to the voters we need.

Whether or not you agree with @AOC that Dems should push more progressive messaging, she's dead right about one thing: Republicans killed us in social media. Their content spreads, ours doesn't.
They also had an edge in physical ground game because they ignored pandemic safety.

Here are a few things we should start out by doing:
1. Fix the pandemic, make it safe to canvas again, and just go nuts with it.
2. Fight back on social media. Push Facebook and Twitter harder to stop fake news, and do a better job recruiting successful influencers.

3. Do more to localize races. Bring in community leaders representative of each area, get them to either run for office or advise someone who is. This will be especially helpful in Texas and Florida, and in keeping Georgia and Arizona.
