THIS is what winning looks like
This week is all about WINNING MOMENTUM. We just put a highly qualified Black woman on the Supreme Court. Donald Trump is under confirmed DOJ criminal investigation, New York is moving to hold him in contempt, and his son’s text messages prove January 6th criminal intent. These are winning narratives for us.
So what can you do with this momentum? For starters, amplify the good news. Tweet about it yourself. Retweet the democratic politicians you feel are expressing the messaging well. Do the same on other social networks that you participate in.
That way your friends and family, who are inclined to vote Democrat if they vote at all, but need motivation to be bothered to go out and vote, see the winning messaging and decide to vote Democrat in the midterms.
Then get involved in the real world. Pick one or more winnable House and Senate races, and volunteer or phone bank from at home. You can even do this from a different state than the race is in. Sometimes they just need data entry help online.
Or if you can’t wrap your head around specific candidates yet, go volunteer for the Democratic Party. Follow DNC Chair Jaime Harrison on social media to find out how. Or just volunteer for your local Democratic Party headquarters. Anything will help.
Well, almost anything. One big mistake we made last time, which we must avoid this time, is wasting major time and resources on candidates in districts where a democrat can’t win. There are many such districts. The candidate may be great, but the district is 70% Republican.
Keep in mind that fretting is the opposite of vigilance, and defeatism is the opposite of activism. If you’re concerned about whether we’ll win the midterms, or if you’re worried about the consequences if we lose them, then you have a patriotic duty to put in the work to try to help win the midterms. Now is the time. We have winning momentum right now. Let’s seize the moment and run with it.
