28. The vast majority of people are NOT paying attention to "politics"

Oct 2023

Some know that this-coming November is an "off-year" election and the hope is that they turn out to get more Democrats in for their state/county/local officials. But honestly I think that after what happened J6, a good chunk who voted for 45 in 2020 are not going to do so again in 2024, and may just sit it out.

That is where we need to get our turnout up for next year because we know that the GOP will try to do everything they can to suppress our vote including putting out misinformation all over the internet (and that means here too) in order to "scare" and demoralize Democrats (because that is all they have left).
