    This is all true. I think it’s also important to note that the court’s shift is a result of strong state-level organizing by the WI Democratic Party. Voter mood has shifted since the Tea Party years, yes, but our Democratic Party has also done really well in getting out the vote, particularly in college towns.

    What’s happening in Wisconsin is my rejoinder to apathetic or nihilistic voters. Organizing matters and voting matters. There is a real difference between the two main parties and tangible benefits happen when you elect Democrats.
