I Have a Suggestion: [View all]

Let's not reinforce the idea that Trump will win if he runs in 2024. It seems to me that too many people, both here on DU and out there in what passes for the real world, have simply given up on a Democratic victory in November.

I suggest we stop making that assumption and get back to campaigning for Democrats and strongly supporting every freaky last Democrat who is running for any office.

I'll start with President Biden. He has not solved all of our problems, thanks to a Republican majority in the House. However, he has done a great deal to improve the lot for most people. So, let's champion the guy and start backing him up.

Next, let's look at Congress. We're only a few votes away from a House majority, and a few more to increase our Senate majority. So, let's identify all seats that are even remotely flippable and put as much energy as possible into flipping them, for goodness sake.

States? Well we can do better in our states as well. We made some gains, but there's more that can be done. Whatever state you live in, find seats and offices that can be flipped and work to flip them. Your state. Work there, rather than fuss about states where you have no vote. There's plenty enough to do in your own state, I'm quite certain.

But, above all, let's stop assuming that all is lost and stop whining that there is nothing we can do. It is not all lost, and there's plenty we can do. Be positive, not negative. Campaign for good and against bad. Let's get to work. I know that's old school crap, but it still works.

Thanks for listening.
