(5,730 posts)but no longer through the DNC, DCCC, etc. I suspect many of us are doing that, from the emails I get from out of state candidates, even occasionally personal emails thanking me and telling me what is going on...so I can help, in the best way.
I'm a Democrat through and through. After the debacle of DWS and Donna Brazile (who I used to love, but she needlessly shot Hillary in the foot, plus she was dishonest to her party and employer) and the failure of the DNC to take control, or listen to us working in the field, during a badly managed election, I put my efforts toward competent individual campaigns. Once I SEE a 50 state approach, not just loud lip service, maybe my approach will change.
One would think, the DNC might have some introspection about why loyal Democrats are working hard for individual campaigns. They don't do feedback poles, like the Repubs did during the election and still do. They don't take feedback seriously. Ask the folks in Wisconsin, Kansas recently, & Michigan. Only after Maddow called them out in public on TV, did they help out in Georgia. I can tell you from my personal experience too. You are lucky to get a canned irrelevant response. As long as they function in an ivory tower, while the Repubs are talking to the troops, we need to work around them, and try to at least win some individual elections. I could say a lot more about mine and others experiences, but it would probably be construed as dissing Dems. That is unfortunate, as so many of us are working hard for Dems, but can't give feedback about how to improve the party, our party. Bingo...therein lies the problem.
