It’s people seeing that their vote might actually matter. Same thing happened in Colorado. Once Democrats saw their vote could matter it turned blue rapidly. It’s not just demographics.

We should see the same in Georgia and North Carolina. A bit in Mississippi. We saw it in Alabama but abandoned it. Arizona is energized.

Will it be enough this year? I think so.
