What you see here is a tweet that went out to Chicago Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) members.
It is also a very good example of the sort of drudge work that needs to be done, and needs to be managed, in order for a political group to achieve success.
You don’t see a lot of small political groups doing this.
In fact, mainstream Democrats (I cannot speak to the ways of the Republicans) tend to let this slide an awful lot too, but this is precisely the sort of unglamorous, and quite frankly boring work that has to be done for a political movement to succeed.
I am not sure why the DSA seems to get this, and other groups (**cough** Green Party **Cough**) seem to have a phobia of pounding the proverbial payment, but it is one more reason to support the DSA.
They get the sh%$ done that needs to get done.
