When the opposition is horrible, it should be easy. Yet we lost big time in 2024 and in 2016. And we also lost in Biden’s mid-term, though less than we thought and this was not unexpected.

These predictable patterns do not apply to special elections though and I do not give a fuck if we’ve been winning these since they could just be jerrymandered away.

The point now is not about elections. It’s about fighting the fight, and I do not mean by playing the tired old game Dems seem to be still playing. Focus groups are not going to save us here!

Democrats in leadership do not listen to their members because it’s “her time” or “they know best” or what the fuck ever.

Leadership needs to let the people who know how to fight take the damn reigns!
