H. Clinton made the mistake in 2016 of not campaigning everywhere. DNC made the same mistake in many, many elections over the years.

The DNC needs to campaign in every possible place, obviously they need to have a bigger spend, and a bigger push in swing states, but the more they campaign everywhere, the more down ballot Dems get attention. They need more than a president to get shit done.

Start adding more progressives to the house and (maybe someday) the senate, and we'll start turning this ship around.

Agreed. My local area put a progressive (u know, an actual one) in office a couple election cycles ago and shes been very popular with her constituents.

Progressives are so much easier to elect locally. It's a much simpler sell to point out local issues with progressive solutions than it is to make larger, sweeping changes at a state or national level.

Bottom up, amigo! When the low level supports more progressives at higher levels, those endorsements from popular local officials will go a long way.
