Thanks a lot for an informative and encouraging article. Hope there will be better coordination between such grassroots organizations and the Democratic Party in various counties. As you had mentioned in a previous article, if you want to flip Texas blue then become a Democratic Precinct coordinator to start building relationships with local Democratic leaning voters. Democrats should also look into the Reach app supported by Texas Blue Action to leverage relationship based campaigning in ensuring that your like minded friends and family members vote. Thoughts?
The REACH app was useful to remind others. Not enough people use it, there are still so many who do not use technology the way we use it, specially in areas like the RGV.
as a single white guy of a certain age i can honestly say i lost all of my friends to Trump and 2 pretty good gal pals..........who knew they were waiting all these years for an orange Hitler to show up and rescue them from the clutches of Joe Biden... the few neighbors who are D want to keep it on the downlow cause they don't want to upset their friends or colleagues.....they have actually told me that..............
Any MAGA cretin, at the Home Depot, in the grocery store, fixing the plumbing, has no problem bragging on the lying abuser fraudster and raggin on Joe. Such is the wimpification of Texas D's.
This why a yard sign or two would be so encouraging.
The Reach App had such a terrible roll out, that it left a bad taste in a lot of people's mouth. I promoted it myself on Living Blue in Texas and a lot of people complained that it was too confusing to use.
Reach app has improved a lot and offers a systematic way to ensure that we all can ensure that our like minded friends and family members vote. It will help avoid duplication of effort in reaching out to voters. It helps even in identifying Republicans among our contacts so that the Democratic Party doesn’t waste money in contacting them. I have used it for a year and a half including the Beto campaign and have found it very useful.
I recently talked with a friend who is also a Democratic Precinct coordinator in Bexar county. He mentioned that for the recent primary, he had sent postcards at his own expense to some Democrats in his precinct to vote. Some of them did vote but he wasn’t sure if they did it as a result of his postcards or some other voter reach out efforts. This is where Reach can play an important role with wide adoption as it knows that if a voter is in my network and has not voted yet, then it reminds me to remind that voter without duplication of effort. We need to leverage its technology and relationship based campaigning to increase voter participation by Democrats.

That's sad to hear. Luckily, no one in my family or circle of friends is caught up in the cult.,,,and I like it that way.
