6. I'm a Democratic Committee Member

2nd year of my 2nd term serving the Democratic Party in my precinct, state district, fed district, county - and state.


One - it's going to help us this November. People is pissed. They are. Even in my Red County - the fact that we have a current County Elected official who was at 1/6 and who has faced no consequences - is to our advantage.

Two - I would prefer a slow roll until next summer. Maximum impact for House members who did not vote to impeach DJT in January of this year. Maximum impact for the Senate.

I believe we are picking up seats in the Senate - and in the House. Senate examples - PA and Ohio. I think if Ryan wins the Ohio Senate Nomination and either Fetterman or Lamb win the nomination in PA - it's a slam dunk. House examples - let's see how redistricting works. It won't all be in the GOP's favor.

Regarding the current Legislation - I'm in total alignment/agreement with you on this. I think these are the marquis campaign ads for next year. They simply must pass, and people need to see jackhammers, traffic cones, and tax breaks. One thing you can do - if you know ANYONE in WV or AZ - henpeck them to henpeck their Senators.

Ultimately - its on West Virginians and Arizonans if the legislation doesn't pass. Unfortunately - their Senators are not afraid of them.

They need to terrify their Senators the way we do in NJ. I mean - we harass, harangue, and intimidate Booker and Menendez to get them to vote our will.

Agree. The Fraudit was never about 2020. It's always been about 2022 and 2024. nt Crunchy Frog Sep 2021 #10
Hmm...Well, for any bill to pass, it needs enough votes to do so. MineralMan Sep 2021 #5
