What works in New York City does not necessarily resonate with Democratic voters and Independents in more moderate parts of the country. To me, the message is be brave and direct in your messaging, use social media effectively, project a can-do positive attitude, and identify the issues that your voters care about and offer them solutions.

Right time, right place

The Socialist label will hurt him in most other places

Labels are powerless when confronted with good policy. The Democrats have been running to an ever-rightward center since Mondale because we are more afraid of labels than we are proud of policy.

We've tried being afraid of the right for 40 years; it hasn't worked.

Mikie Sherrill: "I am fighting for you. I'm fighting to get your costs down. I'm not doing a 10 year study. I'm not writing a strongly worded letter. I'm declaring a state of emergency to drive your costs down. I'm increasing that first time home buyers program so you can get your foot in the door. I'm taking on those landlords who are colluding to drive up your rental prices. Will my opponent do that? No."

Spanberger: "We’re going produce more energy and we’re going to lower energy costs. We are going to produce more energy here in Virginia and make sure that data centers pay their fair share." She also campaigned on lowering the cost of homes, cracking down on pharmaceutical prices and making data centers pay their fair share.

I think they gain credibility and support. "Help me get this done" instead of "I'm gonna do this."

Really want to see more painting of the GOP with all the bad stuff, not just Trump, Trump, Trump.

For President because that person will align perfectly with some states and not others why most go centrist at the end because more of the overall country used to be that way.

I am not sure after Trump that is true any more. A good portion of America seems to want radical change.

Especially young men, they are being heavily influenced by many different groups online and podcasters.
