That’s the takeaway. Virginia, with some help from Gillespie who went full Trumpkin, relit the #resist fires that Ossoff let die out. Soon it will be our turn and every Democrat is on call. Centrist, Liberal, Green-Leaning…it is time for everyone to show up.
All races should name trump without naming him. What do I mean?
I mean Danica Roem provides a good example. Making her race about rationality, plain competence, and the basic services we expect Government’s to provide strikes at the heart of Trumpism which is, at its heart, all about fear, division, chaos and nonsense. To be all about competence WHILE being all in on diversity and social justice is the formula.
OR… JUST OUTRIGHT RUN AGAINST TRUMP as Delaware County Democrats did in their winning efforts:
Pushing the message that a vote for them was a vote against President Trump, Delaware County Democrats out-polled Republicans in a County Council election for the first time in history, winning both seats up for grabs in an ultra-tight race.
Democrats had planted signs throughout the county that read, “Vote Nov 7th Against Trump” and “Vote Nov 7th: Bring Sanity Back.”
