Progressive group to spend $50M boosting Sun Belt turnout
By Chris Mills Rodrigo - 09/22/19 08:24 PM EDT


Progressive organization Way to Win plans to invest $50 million to help the Democratic Party in the Sun Belt, the Associated Press reported Sunday.

An advance copy of the group's blueprint obtained by AP details a strategy to help Democrats in Georgia, Arizona, Texas, Florida, Virginia and North Carolina, where the party hopes to make inroads with people of color, women and young people.

“It’s preparing to win not just in 2020, but to build power in the long term,” Tory Gavito, president of Way to Win, which was founded after President Donald Trump’s 2016 win, told AP.

Way to Win previously spent $22 million during the 2018 midterm season.

1. Now, see, *that* is useful.

It's much more useful than sitting around complaining about the semantics of impeachment language or declaring that Democrats not impeaching Trump is a scandal bigger than all of his scandals combined. Or blaming Democrats for everything and/or incessantly calling them weak, blah, blah.

The most realistic scenario for getting rid of Trump and the GOP is to vote them out in 2020 to the greatest extent possible. This is an excellent way to contribute to doing so.

2. It's kind of depressing that this is getting zero attention.

This is the kind of stuff we should be focusing on, not circular firing squad nonsense.

3. Wise move. More of this, please.
