Encouraging, but what about registering more youth voters? "Coming off of these victories, the President and Vice President are in a position to prevail over the MAGA extremist agenda once again—here’s how:" ... and then NOTHING about young voter registration? Where is any recognition that it is essential to implement Simon's proposal to spend $100M this summer, NOW, on registering young voters? Simon, is this a gap in the campaign's strategy, and if so, can you help fill it? Can we, regular citizens, help? (Besides supporting and promoting TheCivicsCenter.org and other efforts.)
"We’ll engage early and often with traditionally supportive voters, particularly women voters, young voters, Black voters, and Latino voters and AA and NHPI voters. We’ll also focus on reengaging young voters who voted in 2020, but skipped the midterms."
Agree: Job 1, 2, and 3 should be turning out young voters, which will mean hard fights against authoritarians trying to make it harder for them to vote or disinform them into staying home. Four more years of Gen Z's is by far the biggest change in the electorate since 2020, and there's literally nothing they agree with the GOP about (which is why they're trying to stop them from voting)
Interesting stuff. She talks about a young organizer boot camp for the summer! She wants Dem offices in the smallest and rural communities to meet black and brown voters where they are. Obama did it she said, we need too. And explain that the economic wins from Biden are wins for them. Check it out. Curious for feedback from NC and beyond!
💙Wow ! Anderson is dynamic and a force for change!
My “adopted” Florida Rep, Anna Eskamani, has an org(takes no corporate donations) and has done boot camps for young organizers. She and her team/volunteers also reg voters at community clean-ups, colleges, Juneteenth , PRIDE events ++ on a continual basis.
Sounds like Democrats have finally figured out what Simon, Ben Wikler, and Stacey Abrams have known for a while now, ie that the Internet isn't just where you do grassroots fundraising to buy more TV ads that nobody watches. One of the reasons Trump did better than expected in 2016 and 2020, even though both Clinton and Biden significantly outspent him on TV, is that he significantly outspent them online.
Ready to organize and GO GO GO!
Glad to hear that the Biden-Harris campaign recognizes the “fragmented media” and is strategizing to meet the voters where they are on and offline.
Great to see Nevada enumerated among battlegrounds. Unless the economy FEELS stronger to people, it will we be tough. Split decision in 2022 ...

There was this bit, sounds encouraging.

Yeah, I did review that before writing my comment and questions for Simon. By "engage" I don't hear "register newly eligible voters."
Agree: Job 1, 2, and 3 should be turning out young voters, which will mean hard fights against authoritarians trying to make it harder for them to vote or disinform them into staying home.

4 MILLION Gen Z people become eligible every 12 months. Major, MAJOR shift to progressive values and policies.
Love it and I’m in!
