Republican positions are abhorrent and radical. Democrats must go on the attack
(Snip)
Democrats, including the DCCC, must put a significant amount of energy into demonstrating just how radical the Republican Party has become on everything from abortion to guns to the economy and even the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection. Republicans have truly given Democrats an embarrassment of riches to work with, but Democrats absolutely must focus on making the case to voters. Just to scratch the surface, here are several key issues that can absolutely work in Democrats favor.
1) Abortionthe GOP-packed Supreme Court is likely to gut Roe v. Wade and turn back the clock a century on women's rights. Every single Democratic candidate and incumbent should be talking about the issue and trying to nail down their opponent's position on the upcoming ruling and any current bills in their home state. OUTLAWING ABORTION IS NOT A WINNING ISSUE FOR REPUBLICANS IN SWING STATES AND DISTRICTSAND THEY KNOW IT.
2) Crime and "law and order"Republicans want to talk about the rising crime rate and how Democrats supposedly don't support police. Okay, how about passing gun reforms? If Republicans are worried about crime, why do they oppose super basic gun measures like passing background checks?
Also, if Republicans are so big on law and order, how do they feel about pardoning the Jan. 6 seditionists who bludgeoned police officers, as Trump has promised? And do they support the national GOP's embrace of the deadly Jan. 6 attack as "legitimate political discourse"? EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN SHOULD BE FORCED TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS BECAUSE THEY SPLIT TRUMP-SUBURBAN VOTERS.
