5. Seriously? That's all they do? How is it you know so little about the organizing taking place?

President Obama/Organizing for Action was heavily involved in Patty Schachtner being elected to western Wisconsin’s 10th Senate District seat on Tuesday, Jan. 16, 2018.

Every State has it's own organizing groups supported by Democratic groups on the National level.

Here are just a few others:
The organizers at iVote worked with partners on the ground to get automatic voter registration on the ballot in Nevada in 2017. 450 brand-new civic leaders and activists attended The Arena’s very first summit — and they’re on track to train 5,000 people by the end of 2018.

At the Alliance for Youth Action, young people are using local organizing to address economic inequality, attacks on voting rights, and more.

The team at Latino Victory Fund is working to elect more Latino candidates at every level of government.
More than 400 students and leaders met last month at the Voto Latino Power Summit to share resources and tools for national advocacy. And with the help of Collective Future, 23 African-American candidates have been elected to local, state, and federal offices since August 2016.

Along with Indivisible, Color of Change, Emerge America, Swing Left, and Run for Something

To name just a small few.
How can you make the statement .."wish we could spend more time organizing and less time rubbing our palms together in anticipation"?

While some wish, others unite for a common purpose & act.

The Democratic Party is doing just fine in their State, local & campaign movements across the country.
