I remain focused on WHO WILL BE COUNTING THE VOTES… at this point kicking their asses depends on fixes to our very vulnerable voting systems .. see Greg Palast and Smart Elections and Election Truth Alliance I am a PC and knock on doors so IT MATTERS NOT if the votes are not fairly counted. ( see Mueller Report etc)

I am always really confused by people who think the Democrats can continue to take the high road given the present circumstances. Those days are over. There can be no by partisanship now. We are knee-deep in a fascist dictatorship with very few guard rails left to preserve de democracy. What is hard about this? Every single blue governor should be joining governor Pritzker in his call to invoke the 25th amendment. They should also be gerrymandering their own maps to combat red state gerrymandering. Every time a red state changes their maps, a blue state should holla back. It’s time for the gloves to come off.

Spanberger is already ahead in the Governors race in Virginia. That election is this November, 2025. She will win. Love that Ernst is out for Iowa next year. There are more chances to kick out more in the Senate as well. I get so hopeful when I watch videos of townhalls! In Texas Allred is running again against Cornyn or Corrupt Paxton . Their repub primary will be ugly. It will be fun to watch Paxton and Cornyn beat up on each other!

allison - I agree on the all out approach.. go for all 9 seats - if we can't make it national, we have to maximize every advantage.. I don't think that is extreme at all in this climate, if Moneyball exists anywhere, they all have to play it ..

I'm so disappointed in the League of Women Voters and I wonder if their position represents the will of their majority?

Can someone explain something? If Republicans add seats in Texas, how can they guarantee a republican will be voted in to fill those seats? Isn't it possible for a democratic candidate to win the vote for those seats?
