I remember when everybody said Hillary was gonna win easily.
I remember when everybody said Kamala was gonna win.
I really really hope Dems take the house, but I'll never be confident in these predictions.
Hillary was never going to win, because she burned the Bernie Bros. No one voted for Kamala, and after the switch, they went to their number 2 choice that wasn't her. If the DNC pulls a screwjob again against their own, they will lose. Otherwise, they might have a real chance. But I'll say that if they want to win, they need to find find Dems who speak to direct solutions to real problems and gets the government the hell out of peoples' hair. Stop with the nonsense. Talk about how you put money in people's pockets. How you'll cut taxes. How you'll restore funding to services that people care about without raising taxes. How you'll cut government costs.
Talk about fixing what's wrong, give direct solutions, and be ready to put those plans into action on Day 1. Sponsor bills, push them loudly. Denounce ~~bribery~~ lobbyists by naming and shaming. Basically, be a party of the people.
Small comment: "Bernie bro" is a term created by centrists to discredit Bernie-supporting progressives as a bunch of sweaty white dudes.
-bro is such a buzzword by centrists and conservatives.
To borrow from Aslan - do not cite the deep magic to me, for I was there when it was written.
I voted for Stein.
The only stein worth voting for is Franken.
And Ben thanks you for it.
Jill.
