“Tomorrow you wake up and you’re the DNC chair, what’s the first thing you would do?”
I was especially interested in this because I was just listening to Jon Stewart talking to Wisconsin Democratic Party chair Ben Wikler, a candidate for national chair, and he stressed building “an infrastructure” and “door-to-door organizing” (“We build neighborhood teams so neighbors are knocking on their neighbor’s door so that it’s someone that you actually know”). But Andreessen said, without pausing: “It has to be candidate recruitment. Like you, you gotta get to work in candidate recruitment.” Yeah, give us better people! I don’t need you knocking on my door.
Indeed. The knocking on doors has become rather crazy in Madison. Most answer that they are paid, some by the NEA others by the SEIU and still others who decided to drive to Wisconsin since their state is “not competitive”. My favorite door knock in 2024: “can the democrat party count on your support in elections this year…..”
Candidates, Candidates, Candidates, for sure!!
