A standard part of Bernie's Iowa stump speech was, "we'll know early in the night if we won. If turnout is low, that means we lost, if turnout is high—we won." But the Movement didn't really come out, and he still did well.https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/1224694896260534272 …

I haven't sorted it all out yet, but it seems like he brought his coalition out - young people, workers, non-white voters were up over previous years. It was the older voters that didn't show. I don't know what to make of that, except that organizing seems to work

Bernie isn't the example to point to if you want to test organizing. His campaign in Iowa was kind of a shambles

Can you say more? I only know what I've seen online and heard from people that volunteered in Iowa.

If by organizing you mean door knocking, get out the vote efforts, cutting turf and so on, Bernie's campaign was not very organized or effectively led. Not meaning that as a knock on the candidate, just that this was enthusiasm-led, not a proof of organizing effectiveness.
