"How We Win - in November, & How We Sustain it for 2020.. [View all]

It takes not only ones self to get out in vote, it also takes the work to inspire, urge and incite others to get out and vote!!

Some may not like the work required, and others may fight the work that is necessary... and still some may fight just to fight what they don't want to do. Some may resent being reminded of what's needed. We always have some who detest being reminded and urged as to what we "must do"... if we expect to gain votes, embolden the voters to get out and vote...

It's not enough to just get Trump Out...

It takes not only ones self to get out in vote, it also takes the work to inspire, urge and incite others to get out and vote!!

"Right - Wrong - or- Indifferent" == what we see is "The Committed" Win's... it should "shock" us awake, just knowing such fact.
Those who realize these simple truths, will be a great resource to gather more voters to the Democratic Ideals and urge others to speak up, stand up and become self driven to get out and vote:.

Things we need to know and share with others so they too know..
This Article Tell a Good Reason The White People Support the Republicans

If anyone takes a look at comment sections on news articles, and commentary generated by Right Winger - Republican in General... they will find... these people generate content to push their narrative to embolden and solicit others to join them.

How do we know its true, polls have shown that more people are supporting Trump as the months come along, and more people have backed away from Mueller, and now even more people are backing away from impeachment for Trump...
These numbers tell a story.... but what drives those numbers is, Republican are "writing"... not just jokes and pun, but they write to promote the thoughts and ideals they garner from Right Wing Talk Radio, Right Wing TV, Right Wing Blogs, Right Wing Forums and they post that information. To them, it is real.... regardless how much we say they are ignorant and no matter how much we say they are uneducated, they invest themselves to spread their thoughts among each other and to attract others and they promote their commentary.

It seems the challenge we have, is democrats resent anyone urging them to use the same tools, of writing, too many, especially in this site, "resent" anyone trying to incite, urge and inspire and even pose them with the challenge and necessity of the challenge to write.

We have not yet digested the reality of what "over-confidence" produced in 2016 - which left us with "Trump" and before that, Our "over-confidence left us with a Republican Congress, only 2 yrs, into the Obama Administrations 1st term...

One thing Republican have found out, "Publicity is Publicity"... and when people rush to make comments of jokes on every Republican folly and even about their malice, they find out, it only serves to make Republican People more committed, because there is not enough dominant Democratic Narrative speaking about what Democrats Want, or Details to Explain what Democrats Want. Its just an incessant string of jokes, and one liner puns.. It so shallow, until people can't remember what they were incited about even one week earlier. We don't generate and promote enough narrative to help people with dialog to not be so quick, to be led on another "wack a mole" spin cycle.

Republican's know what they want... and they promote it..... They want what they continue to build, which is support for bias, support for white nationalism, they promote and support the want of authortarian rule, and they want public services diminished to the lower level. even when they know they are the highest number of recipients of public service. They don't care... they want the return to white dominance, and they do all they can to promote commentary and narrative to achieve it.

We seem to not want to know, and understand what we see, as being a view and reality, that tells us, IF we don't create and promote narrative and speak about "what we want" and do it with 'detail"... then we suffer more than we know, and may find out too late, that we did not do enough to inspire, urge and incite others to get out and vote!!

The choice is up to you.... you can resent all you want my continual urging's to write and promote democratic commentary, about what do we really want, but truth is simple, it is you are who will be too, part of what determines the outcomes, not just in 2018, but in 2020.

I'm not going to be a victim of Democratic Over-Confidence.... I saw the damage it caused in 2016, and I'm living with the results of what it caused for the past 6 yrs of Republican controlling Congress during Obama's term, and 2 yrs of Republican Controlling, Congress and the Presidency.


you can gloss over this post, rush to try and bury it, or what ever drives you... and if such over-confidence is what you are comfortable with... then you also will be comfortable with the results that over-confidence has proven to present.

"Right - Wrong - or- Indifferent" == what we see is "The Committed" Win's... it should "shock" us awake, just knowing such fact.


We say we want Republican and Trump to "STOP" doing what they are doing... but we are not saying what we actually want to be done. until we understand what we are not saying, just saying we want Republican to stop.. has little meaning to Republican and it does not feed enough information to Democrats or to Republicans as to knowing and expressing what we want to be done and what we want to achieve.

They on the other had, push and promote narrative to say what they want, and they invest to write and express what they want to be done. We seem to be missing that important point. therefore, we don't counter what they are saying, with dialog as to what we want and what we want to be done. so.. we are far less convincing in getting our ideals promoted.

It's not enough to just get Trump Out..

We need to be able and willing to say and write about what we want, how we want it and how we expect to get it done.
If any democrat does not understand the value of that.... then, it is not a good thing for us, and certainly does not get our ideals and plans for the future promoted.
