Democrats start winning some elections, and the thinking in some politial cirles and the media narratives begin to change.
First up, you have national Democrats waking up to the 50 state strategy. Nice to see it might be implemented again after nearly a decade. Yes, Democrats are NOT going to win in all 50 states. I get that. But the idea was to at least fuckin’ show up. If you do not show up to contest political office, you guarantee Republican victories. We saw this in 2016 with Congressional seats that Democrats might have picked up.
And guess what else? If some of our guys win this hard contests or long shots, we build up a bench of candidates for future higher office. Republicans run for every office to do just that. It’s why they have so many candidates waiting in the wings to run.
And finally on this score, Democrats need to get into all the states to combat the message that national Democrats are completely out of touch with voters. Or worse, the national Democrats are a weird bunch of crazies. Democrats have allowed Republicans to paint the party in the worst possible terms. The media and even the Democrats have internalized this bullshit. You can hear it every time there is an election in a red state and they ask some local Democrat running, “Are you going to ask Nancy Pelosi or the Party to come in and help you?”
Hell, it’s not even a question. It’s more of an accusation coming from the media and Republicans. How dare you be tainted by being associated with Democrats like Nancy Pelosi!
Meanwhile, no one says to Republican candidates, “Have you gone pussy grabbing with Trump?” Well, at least they haven’t yet. The closest we have gotten to that is Mitch McConnell — Yes, Mitch McConnell! — is becoming the Nancy Pelosi of the Republican Party! Who would have ever thunk it! Think of how many Alabama voters frothed at the mouth about Mitch McConnell. Hell, most Kentuckians don’t even know who Mitch McConnell is!
And Mitch McConnell is perfect for this upcoming role. He doesn’t talk loud, but his entire attitude is to piss on his own constituents and tell them it is raining. McConnell really is a liar and a middle finger man to voters.
And maybe, finally, hopefully, we MIGHT stop having these media funded safaris to check on Trump supporters. It has been pointed out since Trump was elected by our antiquated electoral system that Trump supporters are in the fuckin’ MINORITY! Even when some of the idiots who voted for Trump have gone silent or stopped supporting him, the media still goes out to the hardcore nuts to ask them all their precious opinions.
Meanwhile, the 60% or more that are against Trump get nada.
Anyway, it’s amazing what happens when Democrats start to win a few elections.
