79. Excellent point. And something DU Democrats can positively help red state Democrats with.

I think Democrats, progressives and other people of good hearts will need months more of data until they can club DeSantis, his supporters, and other MAGA types over the head about the consequences of letting right-wing nut-cases run their state

Posting more of the negatives of rethugs ALONG WITH the positives of Democrats' achievements in red states, can help our fellow red state Democrats a lot.
Michigan and Illinois are good models for what Democrats do when they win.
