This is 100 percent true. @staceyabrams is the kind of data geek they should have listened to since she thinks in numbers and networks and systems and laid out her whole plan for winning with humility. As I saw far too many walking out, I thought: Arrogance thy name is tech.

Here is that interview:
And here is one in 2017 when she was not well known yet and still in the Dem primary for a run at the governor of Georgia race. I was looking for a Democrat who was smart on tech and @hilaryr suggested @staceyabrams as someone to watch. Indeed: recode.net/2017/11/15/166…
Btw it was a sad testament at my events that the room cleared out more — and it was always the men who left — when a women leader came on the stage. That included @ewarren and @KamalaHarris. The exceptions were @HillaryClinton, right after the 2016 election, and @sherylsandberg.
The worst was an Eve Ensler interview, focused on conflict minerals used in mobile phones from war-ravaged Congo where women were being systematically raped. It was a necessary interview and many men who walked out could not have cared less. That was a moment of revelation for me
Here is the Ensler interview btw from 2009 on “blood Coltan”: allthingsd.com/20090618/v-day…
Lastly, don’t miss @gwlauren of @fairfightaction in the @staceyabrams interview at Code too. These two have been part of a team of organizers who should be listened to by many.
