This is not a private event. I am taking notes to discover what is going wrong with current races and what impact these groups believe they have and what they believe the gap is.

• the failed emulation of Zohran Mamdani
• door knocking resulted in “I don’t vote” or related
• They wind up trying to sell on the doorstep but it’s all a veneer
• Made a connection to their canvasers
• it seems to me that they are just selling DSA with a new skin face each time
• The candidate is canadian and has one of the most anemic topical site
  • to be fair, the opponent barely says anything either
• They know the other candidate was a nobody, but they had connections
• One Main Street
  • “Our Wario” (the anti-501c4, in DSA’s words)
  • Did flyers for Tricia Canonico, tried to peg Emily Francis
• Seems like they want to pick issues instead of picking solutions
• They fundamentally missed the CSU angle (?? what? how?)
• They want to get away from sensationalist labels like Dark Money
  • They say they want to describe it more as the entrenched interests
• Self identitying people out there based on anti-trump. defining people by their enemies
• They are republican-phobic. They’re meming.

• Field ops are the seen as the reason they were failing

• they’re struggling to build a Universe, to query for their targets

• I’m realizing that the pervasive thing going on this room is learning how to campaign, not learning how to win with a candidate

• they want to campaign much earlier
  • i’m wondering. can they canvas without a campaign?
  • Can They Look For A Candidate Instead?
