From former Obama West Wing member Dan Pfeiffer on Pod Save America:

"The true lesson of the 2018 midterms is that activism wins."

Hmmmm...

Based on how he fleshed things out re: identifying and getting out the Democratic vote, I'm pretty sure Mr. Pfeiffer actually meant 'organizing' rather than 'activism'.

Which of course leads one to think of how unions used to win before the co-optation of everything that disillusioned everyone began in earnest.

History informs us that activists who can organize usually win.

Very good point Lew.

Thing is, in this specific case, Obama's former West Wing boys are triangulating old style Dem's at heart.
