there is a coordinated mid-decade national gerrymandering push underway by Republicans the dust will not settle for months as the fights play out but Democrats should assume today they need to flip 10+ seats to win back the House, not just 3 seats as the current margin suggests counting on Trump’s approval rating to sink and cause a wave is not a sufficient strategy Democrats also need candidates who fit red-leaning districts — people with life stories working class voters find appealing, and with policy views that sometimes run contrary to the national Democratic agenda and those candidates will need help winning their primaries this is the way, we know how to do it, and the stakes are too high to fuck around with candidates running as far to the cultural left as they think they can get away with just the facts! 🐶
