What should be next!
Now that the family fight holiday has passed. Where your uncle Joe spouted about how his candidate was going to make America great again and your Transgender nephew ran from the house crying. You know it, the one we call Thanksgiving.
With all that drama behind us and all the analyzing of why Hillary lost an election that really was hers to lose. We must focus on stopping the insanity!
Should the Republicans take control of two more state houses (notably Washington and Colorado) they will be able to rewrite the constitution to fit their world view of democracy.
They will likely call a constitutional convention to amend the constitution as allowed by the majority clause Specifically Article 5.
Do not think for one moment that the Republicans haven’t worked the last 40 years to gerrymander every state to make this happen.
The ugly truth is we don’t have four years to fix this election we have only two years. And as they say in Texas, “we’re burning daylight.” We’ll see two special elections in the near future for the US Senate and House. The Senate seat for Alabama and the House seat for the fourth district of Kansas.
While they’re Republican held states, the best offense the Democrats could do is work at putting these seats in play.
The proper messaging on issues that will have a devastating and lasting effect on the electorate will go a long way to upsetting the republican status-quo in those stare.
A statewide effort to get those voters registered and to polling stations needs to be a priority. After all when they make the rules unfair and rig the game in their favor. Play to those rules, and use that advantage to your favor. It’s kind of like playing a game with a three year old. Except you have to win.
This is step two in how we win back our country, step one is that the party adopt the fifty state strategy. Treat every state as a must win. Something the last campaign forget.
In two years we need to have a working plan in place to turn this FUBAR around. We’ll be fighting to keep the basic rights we currently enjoy. The protections won by we the people over the last 240 years. It will not be a sit and wait political time in our history.
