53. You need to face reality

One - we are focused on VA and NJ and special elections.

Next - is 2026.

It's a waste of time to jump ahead to 2028.

You are also dealing with a Cruelty is the Point Dems like me. . .

Policy doesn't win. We've had the best policies and results from 2008 onwards. But policies don't win.


Sparking an Emotional Response wins and building a ethos around a culture of emotional response.

The magapub electorate are FEAR based which leads to HATRED of the other.

Those of us in the Cruelty is the Point Democratic Club? Hatred will help us make people FEAR the other. Hatred of their Regime, their values, their fake christian fascism . . .

Policy and being nice and asking them pretty please with sugar on top 'pick me' - Loses. It's from an old playbook. Those teams don't exist anymore.
