Should a GOP slate like this really worry Democrats?

Click-bait polling is still trying to handicap the November mid-term elections; and the pundits still are trying to predict the 2024 presidential election.

As is often stated, it’s simply too early to predict anything, especially voting. The world is too volatile (Ukraine, gas prices, covid, etc.) and too much can happen to think yesterday’s attitudes will predict tomorrow’s winners and losers.

But let’s assume, gentle reader, you’re just trying to make a rational, fact-based decision on how to vote and genuinely don’t know if it’ll be Trump and the Republicans or Biden and the Democrats. (Just for the record, in the past year Biden and the Democrats have: achieved the biggest single-year drop in unemployment in American history; a 32 percent reduction in hunger; more than 6 million jobs created, breathed new life into NATO, put a big stick in Putin’s spokes, delivered — with Republican support — a $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill; allocated $1.9 tillion in covid relief, and got us out of Afghanistan.)

Anyway, as you think about the future it’s best to take a look at some of the people you’ll get by voting Republican and think about how they’d legislate if in power; understanding the GOP’s 2022 “platform” is simple: ban books, ban abortion, ban Black history, ban transgender teens, ban saying “gay,” restrict voting; spread lies and conspiracy theories, bear false witness to defame; dissolve Medicare, raise taxes on seniors and the poor, make America a theocracy all the while shouting “Freedom!” at MAGA rallies.

1. If Democrats focus their narrative on the good stuff they're doing

they'll win big.

So it might be a little uncomfortable to throw back the results of effective government and solid, experienced leadership against a muddled and confusing GOP social agenda, but that's where the win will come from.

2. I guess because of where I am I don't see a flood of ads on television

but I hope the Democrats are flooding the airwaves with their accomplishments.
