    But those people energized a year and a half out do matter for organizing a campaign and convincing people to vote for you. Looking at places in deep Bernie blue that Biden underperformed in.

      It makes me sad. I knocked doors for a couple days in the cold in a light bernie, boarderline biden area.

      We focused on the lower income apartments. Higher income areas practically laughed us out the door. The lower income areas were super receptive and awesome. Such a hopeful fucking time. god damnit.

        Same here. We had such an insane amount of people turn out to knock for Bernie, way way more than expected. So many latino moms near the low income housing yelling their support for Bernie, so many fucking yuppies walking by who thought Biden was more electable.

        I know people shit on demsoccery here, myself included, but we need to remember the massive base of volunteers that would have kept canvassing if Bernie was nominated.
