As far as I can tell the Democrats are actively discouraging people from getting involved in their party. Literally that is the only explanation I have for why it seems so difficult to find out ANYTHING for so many places.

I am not surprised by a national party that just suffered a major defeat not having a competent organizational presence.

edit: To be honest I'm not sure how organized the GOP is in most states either, but Dems need to be handheld and then pushed into the polling booth.

The reason why the Dems have fallen apart isn't because the population became nazi's overnight. It's because there is gently caress all resources being distributed to state and local parties.

Here's an example from the Massachusetts website http://www.massdems.org/index.php/your-party/town-and-ward-committees

quote:

Our local town and ward committees are the heart and soul of grassroots organizing. They are responsible for organizing Democrats in their communities. Below you'll find a list of local town, ward, and city chairs across the state. Contact your local chair to get involved!

and then they barf a list of people at you. Some of the people don't have phone numbers, or emails! The only way to get in contact with them is to write them a loving letter or show up at their house! Hahahahahahahahahha!!!!

I don't understand why socialists want to start their own party, they could eat the Democrats from the inside out just by showing up lmfao

Edit: Spend $100k making a sick nasty website template that every county chair can use to show info like where meetings are being held, what times, how to get involved, etc, then advertise a site that encourages people who want to make a difference to put in their home location and it directs them when and where to show up

This can't be loving hard, right?

But seriously, Dems gotta stop the big money poo poo. The Dems gotta get people involved and get to work. After a $1.5B losing campaign, it's blood sweat and tears time.

My republican congressman got reelected, but the democrat running against him is a GameStop manager who raised $4000, held zero events, and still got 30% of the vote. I sent an email to the Texas Democratic party telling them they should push me for the next one.
