Dems Raise and Spend Outlandish Amounts of Money for GOTV and Think this is Amazing. What if It’s Really just Pathetic.
Waste not — Want not!
This is a short post and even though written in a provocative way is meant to spur some thought and commentary.
Why do we, as Democrats, think that the hundreds of millions of dollars we spend and the who knows how many person-hours we spend on getting out the vote (GOTV) is such a great thing?
Question: Why would we need to put such Herculean efforts into turning out voters unless voters were seriously unimpressed with what we Democrats have on offer?
Why would we need to canvass millions of households about how great our candidates are if our candidates and our party were really already reaching them?
Hmmmm.
Anyone else see the issue here?
Fighting a tidal wave of $ and mis/disinformation should not be underestimated.
