I hope the DNC opens up the 50 state strategy for 2026

We need to compete in places we haven’t. We need them (GOP) to go on the defense. All the Senators up for reelection have votes for the Caligula cabinet members.

I know the question is money but fighters can scrap for attention. They are weak on so many fronts. Mitt Romney said the GOP policies are NOT popular with the American public. We need to hammer them even if it is a fools errand in some states. It forces the Trumplicans to expend resources and look over their shoulder.

1. 2026?

I appreciate developing a strategy and plans for the future, but the only priority at the present should be preventing the Musk/Drumpf crime syndicate from destroying our institutions and annihilating us. Personally, I don't know if I'll be able to survive until then, let alone tomorrow. And I'm being totally serious.

2. The purpose of this forum

Discuss the future of the Democratic Party and the left, strategies to rebuild the party's influence and reach, and tactics to retake political power from the right.

5. Jasmine Crockett and AOC give me confidence we can hold them off

They have a fighting spirit and do not fear corrupt white men.

We can protect our institutions and plan for the future too. We have to.

4. it's impossible to grow something w/out planting seeds

Given that our new DNC chief is described as an excellent fundraiser, hopefully that at least will provide us with the cash aspect of a 50 state strategy.

And let's be fair, we do compete in all 50 states and there are Democrats who work very, very hard to bring Democracy to some of the worst/reddest areas of the country. Those areas aren't going to flip overnight, but with the money, message, and right candidate, they might one day.

"When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before."

Every dollar donated, every grocery store encounter, every phone call--it's a way of hitting that stone.
