    he’s pulling a “not Hillary” and actually doing a fuckton of grassroots campaigning in depressed-voting districts, spending outrageous amounts of money on outreach and ads, too. Also good that they’re addressing this now, rather than waiting until the last minute.

      Yup. The best time to have done it was starting in January, the second best time is now.

      Waiting until the convention in August would be a death sentence.

        Starting earlier would have been better, but a lot of the analysis I’ve been listening to seems to indicate that it wasn’t until recently that the Biden campaign was able to get a better idea of the who/where/whys of the disengagement and how best to respond. This is what most likely informed the timing of their strategy.
