The thing is, they DO already know the struggles of the working people. Of course they do surveys, data analysis.

The problem is that people don’t believe them. Their brainwashing forces them to automatically reject our message, even though our policies poll well across the board – when they are divorced from the messenger. Attach the name AOC to the idea universal basic income, suddenly it’s communism.

The outreach they are doing is some of the most important work we can do right now. The middle class must become convinced that these people are in fact committed to their well-being before they can be mobilized by them.

When AOC/Bernie have an “army”, like Trump does – people who will trust and believe them enough to show up when and where they ask them to, to fight for what we all believe in – THEN they can start taking very direct and meaningful action.

Think about what we are up against – money, law, and military. The only way we push through all that is with huge populist support.

Rallying and engaging people in these states is absolutely crucial to any further strategy. There is nothing they can truly do to fight without tons of popular support. They are trying to reach some of the 90 million people who didn’t care enough to vote last year, to ask them to start caring.

It’s honestly the very best thing they can use their platform to do right now.

I did, when I voted for Joe Biden, as did the rest of us.
