Walz: I think they hate public education because it’s easier to run an authoritarian government if you don’t have a population that knows.

Yes yes yes. I have run a 24/7, 365 operation since I got elected. I have a permanent campaign HQ that rotates between off-year and on-year organizing.
People thought it was nuts when I first set it up. I said you’re setting yourself up for disaster if you only show up 6 mos before an election.

We also treat “the campaign” as if it’s something that occurs June-November. What the right knows and excels at is that the campaign exists every day, all year around. Dems need to do a better job of touting their legislative wins and bashing the gop for opposing popular bills that help real people.
The ironic thing about post election chatter is that a lot of the time it’s candidates who lost, underperformed, or underworked who have endless time to go on TV and share their blame story.
And for their part, journalists rarely EVER ask if that person actually ran a functionally solid campaign
