The party needs to become a presence in their lives. Hold meetings. Attend rallies. Help them get the government assistance that they may need. Help them register to vote. Help them get to the polls.

IOW, instead of being a fundraising machine, the Democratic party needs to become a service oriented party. They need more people in the field helping every day Americans with their needs.
