(93,469 posts)... The second report shows where we flip districts in 18 The Republicans brought out their base the Democrats did not.
My recollection of the second with people of color especially Hispanics in flip districts where dem voters stayed home
Our message is never going to be good enough for Republicans but it should be good enough for Democrats and Democratic voters to bring them to the ballot.
Republicans flipped the districts from 2018 by bringing out REPUBLICAN voters because they had a message of lies and fear.
I agree with the author from the Atlantic who said the people who define themselves with defund the police did fine with voters while as the ones who did not respond to the trope had a harder time
Even in the second report some claimed defund the police was not on the radar, it wasn't for Democratic voters but it sure was for Republicans.
