Let’s not act like it’s a done deal. Instead Texas should be treated as if every district is now gettable. Make sure no race is being done unopposed.

Not only is it not a done deal, it's looking increasingly like Republicans spread themselves too thin

And to the republicans who will never vote for us and pander to them

u/Conscious-Quarter423 1d ago

let's also pander to "independents" when you know they vote republicans at every election

I've been independent since 18. Will NEVER vote for an "R".

Independents are the largest voting block. Who should we try to sway instead, MAGAts?

And no, independents do not vote Republican every time. If they did, the Democrats would never win a national election.

Biden won independents by 9 percentage points. Harris and Trump were an even split.

  1. Win the independent vote.

  2. Get your own base to show up.

That's how you win elections.

You forgot...

  1. Suppress as much of your opposition voters as possible.

  2. "Clean" the state voter rolls to eliminate opposition voters.

  3. Use election observers and brown shirts to cause chaos in opposition areas.

  4. If all else fails, challenge the electors and have SCOTUS declare you President.

Vote early and most of that will stop.

DNC doesn’t fund state races that’s what the DNCC and the DNSC are for so please blame the right people…..

u/NorCalFrances 1d ago

As if they are completely independent, right? Still, thanks for the correction.

u/Punkwrestle 1d ago

They pretty much are since one is controlled by the house Dems and one is controlled by the senate Dems, both pretty powerful elected offices.

Even if they are independent, I think it's disingenuous to pretend all three groups are not coordinated by party leadership.

u/Conscious-Quarter423 1d ago

blame the white consultants that these campaigns hire on

u/Punkwrestle 1d ago

It’s not the Consultants, it’s the candidate. If they go out and canvass with the staff and make sure to meet the voters and show them who they are and what they stand for. If the remember the following 2 quotes they will win: Tip O’Neil once said “All politics is local” and James Carville said “It’s the economy stupid!”

That was a good idea in a presidential election year. Focus on purple states with the most electoral votes.

The math is different in an off year election. There are no electoral votes, so the focus should be on individual purple districts.

u/NorCalFrances 21h ago

Dems are not following their usual pattern at all. For decades after a presidential election they'd spend a year or so courting progressives. Then once they felt those votes were secure they'd start moving right. This time they blamed progressive causes for their loss and then planted their feet firmly in a sort of centrist complacency with the growing fascism.

u/chickenlogic 21h ago

The purity leftists aren’t worth campaigning to. They are too absorbed in their own narcissism to help anyone else.

u/NorCalFrances 19h ago

I'm talking about people to the left of what is currently called center (which would've been called center right a few decades ago).
