(2,062 posts)I have lived in Charleston, SC for many years and yes, that is a HOTBLOOD of conservative who's who.... thats Lindsay Graham country so yes I have. You are missing the large picture. The messaging of this party is old, its outdated, it leaves many who want help out. Lets look at the midwest voters who went Trump... Ohio, Wisc, PA...coal country, blue collar... how many times did the Democrats seek out their votes...? not much. MESSAGING IS CHANGING.... The message of every democrat now should be THE REPUBLICANS ARE FUCKING YOU OUT OF HEALTHCARE.... ram it home, push it hard, keep it in EVERYONES face EVERYONE... its not a local or regional thing its a NATIONAL thing....My healthcare now in Maryland should not be different from anyone who voted Republican last night in Georgia. Healthcare, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security.... these are national issues, not regional. Time to push hard on all fronts, People get sick EVERYWHERE, some people are poor in EVERY STATE. Citizens become seniors in ALL of this country.
This was not a small county election for mayor or head of the school board. This was for the Congress of the US.
Dean did not seek a second term because he felt with a democrat as president, the DNC was not going to be as fulfilling as with a Republican as president. I dont believe he was replaced, until he announced he will not seek.
As far as getting into people face...tough shit... I am going to get up into anyones face who need to get off their asses and vote democrat, including couch sitting democrats who may be too complacent to vote....
