Cara Menang Pileg : Strategi Timses atau Strategi Tandem?

Summary

This video discusses two main strategies for winning the 2024 legislative elections: forming your own campaign team or using a tandem strategy. Forming a team offers greater control but can be expensive and requires careful recruitment. The tandem strategy, which involves working with candidates at different levels, is simpler and more cost-effective but poses challenges with trust and coordination. The recommendation is to combine both strategies, focusing more on the team while still utilizing the tandem approach. Emphasis is placed on strategic control and minimizing risks in execution.
