US Democracy 101.. [View all]

The United States is filled with "PURPLE" voting districts.

Meaning, they swing from red(Repub) to blue(Dems) based on today's political winds.

Elections in these purple swing districts are often decided by 2-5% when determining the electoral victor.

Sadly, Democrats lose so many elections by 1-2% or similar.

Thus proving,

Is 2-5% such a hurdle for our Democratic Party to overcome?

Hell no!

Fellow Democrats, get aggressive in this upcoming midterm election.

Putin, Trump, and the GOP are despotic brothers in arms.

Teach the US people that fact.

Sway the 5% needed to win these purple districts.

Democrats, take the gloves off vs the GQP in the upcoming midterm elections.

I've been politically active for 51 years and have seen us lose too fucking many 2% electoral losses.

So many fine Democrats have lost because of 1%.

Fire up our base and fire up swing voters.

It can be done.
