I get that consultants are pushing this as a tactic for easy cash. But it's gotten to the point that it's overgrazing the commons that is the Democratic donor pool. I encourage you to do the hard but rewarding work of building an actual engaged grassroots donor base from the ground up.

Unsubscribes don't work, because as I understand, they only apply to the specific phone number from which the text is sent. I got five separate texts from Alex Vindman in a matter of hours yesterday! It's exhausting, demoralizing, and borders on harassment.

I appreciate the response. However, I'm hoping for some leadership from thoughtful candidates like you. Carpet bombing "rented" lists for cash is just a terrible tactic. Everyone I talk to is completely turned off by it. Really, does anyone actually give based on a text from a random stranger?

Exactly. Performance lets people know which side they’re on.

I’m also annoyed. Many homes can currently fully electrify on 100 amps with efficient equipment choices and/or smart panels or load management. The code was designed around worst-case scenarios for dumb, analog fuses and breakers. The full 100 amps gets maybe 5% utilization on an average home.

Yes! And you can also talk about how they’re stealing our healthcare subsidies to find their terror squads. Two birds!

Yes, please! FWIW, the only way I’ve been able to understand much of Dem leadership’s fecklessness in the face of the horrors of the last year is that they actually fear these things more authoritarianism. We’re going to need to clean our house, too.

A human instructor is ideal, but there’s a ton of swim technique content on YouTube that you can also nerd out to. Welcome to the best exercise of the rest of your life!

Right -- not by any means a silver bullet for decarbonizing our energy system, but it does seem like a way for more people to get a little bit of skin in the game, somewhat offset bills, and provide resiliency (if coupled with batteries).

Say more about why you think balcony solar owners wouldn’t form a constituency to advocate for further change?
