The Way Forward

(6,606 posts)When we do not have Democratic candidates, but Independents that support Democratic values, I think they should be brought in because the INDEPENDENT VOTERS are the future of winning.
Yes, we need to understand why our Democratic members did not show, but there are voter supression obstacles that do effect the turn out, and it does discourage a lot of voters: time off, lines, ID rules, polls, and times can be confusing. Our calls and mailing could be more locally targeted to those areas, not just broad statewide, but areas where there are less polls, to allow people to know all their options, rules and times.
I did the post cards to swing states, but they did not want to be partisan. A LOT of people need to have the dots connected on legislation and which party brought it to them.
Harris loss.
We need the older/wiser generation giving more prominent rolls to the youth, while guiding them. This is not about, out with the old, in with the new...it's an effective apprenticeship on how to lead with wise moves for policy wins.
Lets get all Democratic members running a specific media goal every week. At least three media avenues. We could do this too.
