What I would like to see from the DNC

is a rundown of what they are doing to get out the vote in these last few weeks of the campaign. We seem to be running back and forth between being chickens with heads cut off to confident peacocks that we're going to capture the house, too.

People can't really be taking the GOP seriously, threatening Biden's impeachment, shutting down the government and cutting medicare and social security and planning to vote for economic disaster and confusion. But this has been the worst media coverage in the history of elections since I have been watching.

Who at the DNC is acting like a peacock?

I would like examples of your claim. Thanks.

The media is portraying Democrats as running around like chickens with heads cut off one minute, and proud peacocks the next, through the ups and downs of all of this polling data which is incredibly inconsistent. I'd like to see where the DNC is on this, since I've given a substantial amount to them and to multiple candidates this time around.

I just don’t see the extremes you are speaking of. I find confidence and I hear dejection. But not the extremes like you describe.

6. Almost all races are local. You're just not

going to see the customized campaigns for, just for a major instance, the 435 house seats. But thousands of others too. Reporting about the races for city council in Ely, NV of course is not what the national infotainment media do, much less in depth.

Maybe find professional discussion and report what political scientists are discussing with each other. But of course don’t believe it all.

Just occurred to me, you could call local campaigns and ask them what kind of assistance the DNC has been providing in your area, candidate training, what themes they advise emphasizing, etc. Realizing that not all candidates want DNC assistance, tho.

7. They answer to you do they? Let's see they need to say what they are doing to get out the vote...

rather than getting out the vote. I suggest a sternly worded letter sent to the DNC...and oh by the way what are you doing to get out the vote. I just wondered.
