Take back the House

Anything else is irrelevant

This is what we didn't do in 1994 or 1996

If we do not take back the House, and solidify our majority in the the Senate, we can kiss any progressive hopes good bye

If you're like me, you're wishing your progressive hopes could have been actualized years ago

Well, America isn't going to give in like that

So fuck 'em - out vote 'em

Any other option is suicide

1. Given the electoral map/math on the Senate side, we will be lucky to hold that.
We should be able to pick up House seats though. Probably not enough to take it back but closer for sure. The Presidency looks safe for now. I am thinking that the R's may send up a sacrificial lamb for the Presidency hoping for not a big turnout for down ballot races.

3. And how do we take back the House?
The issue is right in front of our noses.

The debt created by the Republicans with huge taxcuts and their refusal to ask the wealthy to pay more as they take more and more from the working and middle class.

They have declared class warfare and we haven't decided whether we want to fight back yet.

4. If the DNC wanted to win, they'd be running ads now attacking the GOP on the economy
But unfortunately, they don't give a shit

So...it's up to us

Which mean, GOTV, GOTV, GOTV
