    So we have Beto O'Rourke, Doug Jones and AOC saying the same thing. A political party whose leaders wanted to win would listen but Dem leaders are more into scapegoating outside groups.https://twitter.com/PatrickSvitek/status/1326965359744864257 …

        It's really like basically any other problem in the world: the answer is typically some form of "well, it's going to be hard work, but..." and the reception is "no, tell me the easy way to not be blamed."

        In this case it’s more like but we’ve always done it this other way with declining success... I would rather not risk the hard work!

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        Jeet you keep harping on this but it seems to me that there are a lot of plates spinning right now. Instead of obsessing over what Jeffries, Pelosi and others are saying, maybe we should just put our dollars at work to support Georgian organizers, and let the dust settle some

        Ossoff is pointedly ignoring this advice here in GA. Listening to things like this are directly related to successes in places like GA.

        Ds on the ground in FL might feel like they were let down on message, and folks in TX feel like they were let down by a lack of organizing. They might both be right.

        People like @TomPerez @SpeakerPelosi @LeaderHoyer @SenSchumer @WhipClyburn and a lot of the @TheDemocrats only try to win 1 election every 4 years. The GOP has beaten them over and over again, and the Dems just don't get it. Being "not-them" is not an inspiring message.

        They definitely are not all saying the same thing. Beto and Doug Jones, yes. AOC, not so much.

        She's saying the exact same thing. People can't listen to what she's saying because she's a young woc.

        Jim Clyburn isn’t in a swing or moderate district. The argument telling the party’s left wing to shut up is from the more politically conservative members.
