Some focus on #GA06 made sense. Potential flare. But not funding infrastructure *around the country* when Rs actually do? Cannot turn tide.

I frequently run into local organizers that could tip districts if they had a few hundred K now, and more later. They can't find it.

If you think this grassroots energy will somehow naturally turn the tide in the country under these anemic funding conditions: not likely.

Dems are riding a wave of admin incompetence/missteps. If you don't build or fund infrastructure and bring in grassroots, that won't last.
