Look up Jerry Falwell and the Moral Majority.

They had a simple program to purge the GOP of anyone they didn't like. They would show up at every local GOP event with enough people to get their way on any issue. If twenty people had gone to the clubhouse the last time they'd had to pick the new county clerk, the MMs would show up with fifty.

Pretty soon those county clerks and sheriffs were Congress members. All it took was some on the ground organizing.

AOC and Omar did it.

Aren't you proving his point by pointing at AOC and Omar? AOC and Omar are proof leftist policies are popular and when you compare their stance on the economy, immigration and Isreal, they're on opposite ends. A and O are pro-worker, Harris ran pro-business. A O don't want strong border control, Harris ran on stronger border control. A O wanted to stop the support for Israel, Harris toed the party line of doing nothing.

AOC and Omar are proof that there is a left demographic to appeal to. Harris's campaign is proof the DNC would rather appeal to the right. The election is proof appealing to the right doesn't work.

Please re-read what I wrote.

I said that if you want people like AOC you have to go out and work inside the Democratic Party exactly like she did.
