- Labour's vote spread was way more efficient than under Corbyn. Brilliant groundgame
- Tory vote was cannibilized by Reform
- soft tories stayed at home, unlike with Corbyn
- Labour will need to win back the votes lost due to terrible trans and gaza policies
ALL THESE THINGS CAN BE TRUE AT ONCE

"electability" in the primaries and "harm reduction" in the general still carry lots of boomers when its paired w/ a barrage of negative earned media + no defensive tv ads + no national prog endorsements. all in all an unbelievably impressive showing for dsa wisco groundgame

The thing everyone stopped talking about was the supposed ineffectiveness of outsourcing the GOP groundgame to places like TPUSA, which might have worked?
Buried in this Tim Miller piece: "21,000 devotees...making a pilgrimage to Arizona a few days before Christmas" for an annual Turning Point USA event "is objectively a sign of grassroots potency."
Should Democrats, instead of searching for their own Joe Rogan, be creating their own Charlie Kirk?

Awesome advance work and organizational effort for the Valley Dem committees and candidates, and my friends at Rural GroundGame.
It’s become a nice annual tradition for rural Dems to out-organize the Rs on Labor Day in an area where Rs should have home field advantage.
Compete in all of Virginia!

One thing that annoys me about social media and politics is that rather than admit that you were wrong about something, people tend to double down and retreat into their own echo-chambers rather than admit that they were mistaken. So my question to you is what were you wrong about politically over

I still think a Lib Dem breakthrough is underpriced. Being no one's least favoured option and having a good groundgame is really not a terrible place to be going into a chaotic and fragmented election.

guys, serious question, is there such a thing as TOO MUCH GROUNDGAME?
Because I'm getting called 3-5 times a day by different organizers in Detroit seeing if I can come in to the office to call people to come in to the office.

UNITED GROUNDGAME: Republicans were well resourced and organized in NJ in ways they aren’t always. They will be nationwide in 2026. But they weren’t unified like the Dems were. We had a tough primary in NJ, but we came together afterwards in a stronger way than we did last year. 5/6
