What it is definitely not too late for, in terms of 2024, is technology and other ways one can directly assist campaigns.
Together with speaking about the importance of preventing Trump, this sounds to me like there’s a danger of using the technology in a partisan way.
“We build technology to help Trump lose in 2024” seems to me a very different agenda than “we try to repeal the Jones Act and reform NEPA in a nonpartisan way”.
Edit:
Eg. in 2020, the pro-choice group NARAL began supporting “defund the police”. NARAL’s core message was popular, but it eventually became clear that “defund” was politically toxic and caused widespread blowback. Our goal is to forecast such outcomes, not just before the next election cycle, but before an idea has left the drawing board.
I doubt that this is a technology problem. People experienced in political messaging likely didn’t need technology to know that this would be politically toxic.
Dominic Cummings wrote about how hard it is to get a political campaign, that he actually, leads to focus on the messaging that’s most effective.

Upvoted for agreement.
This combination when applied to partisan goals would appear highly discrediting to a substantial chunk of the electorate.
