12. If we want to win elections we have to get better at campaigning.

I live in North Carolina. This recent election was a disgrace. Numerous districts in NC didn't even run a Democrat, just ceded the elections to Republicans running unopposed. As a result, we lost the senate election - which the Democratic nominee could have won. We lost the state Supreme Court. The Republicans who control both houses of the state legislature are now one vote away from a super majority. In January they will pass an insane abortion bill and our Democratic governor - who is awesome and very popular - won't be able to veto it.

The DNC let us down in NC and there are national consequences.

With this Santos character, the DNC should have poured money into local ads and social media, ensuring that he would lose. Instead, they left our Democratic candidate to fight for himself.
