Jon Stewart's chat with DNC chair hopeful Ben Wikler is a must-watch
Ben Wikler chairs Wisconsin’s Democratic Party and is running for chair of the Democratic National Committee. On Monday, Wikler went on “The Daily Show” to make his case to host Jon Stewart.
”I think that we're kind of in a system that is generally broken,” Wikler said. “Money has this giant role in politics on both sides. People's attention is in a million different places. So you can scream something from the rooftops and almost no one will hear it.”
Wikler proposed stepping away from big-data organizing and embracing a more grassroots approach.
“We built neighborhood teams,” he said. “So neighbors are knocking on their neighbor’s door, so that it's someone that you actually know so much as to where you are. That's how we do it in Wisconsin.”
