I call this the Beto effect. Hard to believe but many Dem candidates are underfunded because the party is.. well, it's the party that lost 2016. But a few splashy races give the opposite impression—the way holding the presidency 2008-2016 hid the electoral collapse of the party.https://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/1049495854590189569 …

I think the United States is an extremely large country and few things short of a presidential campaign have ever been effective at this kind of mobilization at that scale. I think local and regional efforts at mobilization and engagement tend to be most efficacious.

I also think broad conclusions about 2008-2016 should probably account for the fact to significant electoral erosion is normal for parties that hold the White House.

It took 3 work days to get my non-driving elderly parent a government ID. Most college students can’t afford that.

A mobilization is when you get college students or similar groups as your volunteers but have an organization that underwrites the costs. College students have the days, an organization puts up the money. It can and should be non-partisan. It's mind-blowing that it doesn't exist.
