In reply to the discussion: We are losing Democratic Registrations [View all]LeftInTX
(34,015 posts)19. These types of groups register voters at their events.
Yes, we have a few Democratic groups on campus, but they aren't as engaged. And to expect AOC or Bernie to engage in voter registration when they are visiting a campus out of state is not realistic because they are not voter registrars in the states they are visiting and neither are their crews. You need a crew dedicated to voter registration to make it happen.
Beto O'Rourke has a motivational PAC called "Powered by People". He's sorta doing what Kirk does. He's not running for office ATM. he focuses on values, engagement and voter registration on campuses. His "Powered by People" PAC does similar work that Kirk does. It's just not as robust.

Yes, but this says republiQan registrations are up. We need to counter that if it is not true, or address it if it is.

The answer is Charlie Kirk. His group registered young Republicans on campuses.

80% of voters should be able to name 5 things (in just 10 words) that Democrats stand for. That should be our mission.
