Kavanaugh is the most unpopular Supreme Court nominee of all time, with a history of extreme political positions and misogyny not seen before, since Trump. We need to build on the anger and outrage that is out there.
The fact that Trump and Republicans have seen a boost in support is only because they are winning the propaganda war and influencing those who are not paying a lot of attention.
We have a month to get our messaging across in a way that is not drowned out by the Republican lies. Democrats seeking election cannot be passive, but must capitalize on values that are alien to both Kavanaugh and to Trump. The contrast between the values of Democrats and Republicans has not greater for generations, and most people support most Democratic positions. I believe we need to make those differences clear. We have been handed a blue wave. It is ours to lose.
