Episode notes
Brand And Relational Organizing Win
- Turning Point built success by combining a strong brand, culture, and long-term relational organizing.
- This full-time, relationship-driven model mirrors what the left has done for decades and produces durable turnout.
Vet And Staff Full-Time Workers
- Hire, vet, and train full-time staff rather than relying solely on volunteers for ballot-chasing.
- Run background checks and screen social media to avoid operational risks.
Left Uses Permanent Outside Infrastructure
- The left built parallel, permanent infrastructures (e.g., Arabella, Democracy Alliance) outside the party to replace weak party apparatus.
- Republicans lack that sustained outside-organizational muscle and therefore struggle to compete long-term.
