US politics, subtooting a political campaign 

If you want to get poor people to vote, have you considered showing solidarity with them by materially supporting them and acknowledging the source of their misery, rather than pretending that poverty is a bipartisan issue and all you need to do is convince people to go vote?

US politics, subtooting a political campaign (2) 

Like, the claim is that this campaign does more than just election campaigning, and if so, that would be good.

But the framing everywhere as "we can gain political power by getting poor people to vote, and we can organize them" (as opposed to "we will support them in organizing themselves") is not exactly confidence-inspiring. Smells of saviour politics.
