My theory is basically that if a major party candidate is running a campaign for high-level office, & they are NOT running a populist campaign based on meeting & talking to people, their campaigns will be unresponsive to any requests/questions from ordinary people.
This theory will probably end up getting refined. Maybe SOME people's campaigns will respond—at which point we could ask what the difference is.
Again, I don't consider this activism. This is data-collection.
