General Discussion

Unfortunately big money donors have infiltrated politcs on both sides. We need grassroots appeal to generate massive small money donors and social media reach. The current system with large media buys is sputtering out. TV ads will become less important. We are going to have to have sound bites, memes and be able to play "what about" better than the GOP. We can win on truth abd it will be hard work. We ran 2024 like it was 2008. We should have run against big money in visible ways. It would have allowed us to show the plublic we were running against the billionaire class. We spent too much effort on focus groups that didn't reflect the typical voter. There was a GOP tax timebomb that we didn't address. A crushing middle class tax hike is coming in 2026 and will hit hard before the midterms. The GOP will try blame it on us and Biden, even though it was passed in 2017 and signed by 45. They could succeed as we failed to adress another one in 2009 & 10 that cost us those midterms to the fake Tea Party. We failed to run clearly against it in 20, 22 or 24.
