Down ticket help

I hope the Harris/Walz rallies start to include Senate and House candidates. Defeating TSF is first priority but without Democratic control of at least one house of Congress, they will be hampered at every turn in acting on their agenda.

Platforms

Harris/Walz will proudly run on the Democratic platform while TSF/miniTSF try to run away from their platform, Project 2025.

Are any of the VP contenders fluent in Spanish?

I’ve heard Pete speaking Spanish in videos but don’t know about the others. I think that would be a valuable asset.

My sister is full on MAGA

But is a childless cat lady. I hope when she implodes under the irony that her dipshit husband is inside the event horizon.

Reverse coattails?

Often a winning presidential candidate has a positive impact on down ticket races. I think the Democrats should put a lot of resources into House and Senate races. A strong majority of voters do not want Republicans controlling women’s health care options. This is an issue that is personal and powerful. Most MAGAs are on the record opposing access to abortion and can be pummeled with their own sound bites, votes, social media postings. Project 2025, while hideous and scary is more difficult to weaponize. If we can get voters to the polls to reject anti-choice down ticket candidates, they will be likely to vote for Biden/Harris as well. Roevember!! We definitely want to minimize any coattails that TSF might generate.

One week after TSF's conviction

I have not seen a single upside down American flag. (Eugene, Oregon). Nobody has hassled me despite my Black Lives Matter bumper sticker or Biden/Harris yard sign.
