Why Did We Lose And How Can We Win?

I agree with you about building the Party locally. We need to fight to reclaim state houses, governorships, down to city councils and school boards. Some (not all) Dems focus too heavily on national politics rather than ALL areas, including state and local. A saying in Political Science is "all politics are local", and I agree.

In fact, if you read the article that I linked to in the Original Post, you will see that part of the point of it is that the National Hillary Folks disregarded what the local Michigan People were saying about the ground game in that state.

The Michigan People offered the National People political intelligence about what was happening in their state, and the National People ignored it and basically disregarded those people. This is not a smart strategy. Michigan should not have been lost. The National People should have listened to what was going on in the state. IMO, we lost the election because of this kind of behavior.
