I'm going to have to go against my natural inclinations

[Upthevibe]

because as the saying goes: We can't take knives to a gunfight.

My natural instinct is to be positive, give others the benefit of the doubt, listen to both sides of the story. Having said that, I'm going to need to volunteer and do whatever else I can do to help the Democrats win The House, The Senate, and The Presidency. This will involve negative advertising.

An obvious example is the situation with Lauren Boebert. The video of her at the Beetlejuice show needs to be played on a regular basis in Colorado and maybe even other states (as a representation of who the Republicans are).

As most of us know, she barely beat her opponent (D) in the last election. I feel strongly that we need to be very aware of other Representatives in other states who are in similar situations where we can win.

There needs to be a lazer focused plan in place and implemented like never before! I wish I could get a job working in this arena for the upcoming cycle. I really need to spend some time to see if this is an option.

1. There's negative advertising that's not true, or exaggerated...then there's negative advertising

that is true, reflects real behavior, and that needs exposure.

One of the weaknesses of dems, often, is playing nice even in the face of truly awful opposition.

3. At this time, the DNC has some suggestions.

Count on people to post more specific information as the election gets closer.

I am always full of suggestions for talking points.

And depending on your district/state and community, you might talk up points that will appeal to specific people you know.
I live in reddest California, and would love to flip a whole lot of house seats!
That would be great!

Joe Biden's strategy at this time is focusing on Protecting democracy and individual rights.

And that applies to ALL maga extremists, so the message applies everywhere, and against every one of them.

That's within our locus of control.
I would like to see some forceful action taken at higher levels.
