All “D” vs “R” Elections are proxy fights against Trumpism

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:

Democrats had planted signs throughout the county that read, “Vote Nov 7th Against Trump” and “Vote Nov 7th: Bring Sanity Back.”

Pelosi bungles Impeachment issue, because … of course she did.

Here is that she should have said:
In America nobody is above the law. If the evidence shows that he committed crimes, the President is not a King. Like any another American citizen, he would be held accountable by the Republicans and Democrats in congress.
This, instead is the crazy ass bullshit she said when asked about impeachment:
"It's not someplace that I think we should go," Pelosi, appearing on CNN's "State of the Union," said of whether Democrats would seek to oust the president if they regained the majority.
I mean, WHAT THE HOLY FUCK? I'm no political genius, but apparently I'm smarter than the ranking Democrat in Congress.
