We need to have some absolutely Jedi-level message discipline these next two weeks.

We can’t be responding to every outrage. We can’t be chasing every outrage or trying to rebut every lie.

If we run towards every brushfire set by R’s our message will be lost in the smoke.

1/
Dems have won from coast to coast in special elections these past two years by fighting locally.

We’ve shown amazing focus in talking about the issues that matter to our local communities.

We need that focus now more than ever.

2/
You know what issues matter to your community.

Healthcare, civil rights, income inequality, criminal justice reform, and on and on.

You know what matters.

Let’s talk about that.

3/
While raging about each new, incendiary thing is tempting and feels good, we will lose if we spend the next two weeks caught up in that.

They need to hear, hear, and hear again what will be improved if Dems win.

They need to hear us on the issues we care about.

4/
You likely have a few particular issues you’re most passionate about.

I’d ask you to make sure you’re devoting time to talking about them from the heart as much as you can.

Passion for good will go further than a distracted, fast-changing anger at every new bad.

5/
We win by showing the heart and soul of our value system.

We lose by getting sucked into chasing every new crazymaking headline.

Message discipline.

We know what out communities care about.

Let’s be voices focused heavily on our points of passion.
