Good morning! Merry Christmas! First, the media is stuck in a time and existential warp. Discussing polls, imaginary contradictions, projecting make believe narratives of crisis, and ignoring the Grassroots.
To wit: if @AOC was the largest fundraiser in the entire Congress in contributions under $200 which totaled for her over $1.5 million, doesn't that show a strong trend rather than an imagined division? 😳
Nine of the ten congressional districts along the four-state border with Mexico are represented by Democrats. Why does the media insist Democrats pitch toward so-called moderate Trump voters? 😞
San Francisco, Chicago, Atlanta, Charlotte elected black female mayors in the last election cycle. What does that say about Grassroots voters and the need for a strong ground game? Louisiana is 19 black female mayors including the mayors of its three largest cities. 😄
Orange County, once home to the John Birch Society, turned Democratic last cycle. That shows strong momentum without division. In legislative elections, in Virginia and elsewhere, Democrats beat Republican incumbents. Yet the media doesn't report these Grassroots trends! 🗽🎈
The media is also ignoring the important impact of electoral culture! In the black community it means yard signs, ads on gospel radio. Most importantly, it means strong voter registration drives. Which candidates have the strongest registration drives?
The media is ignoring material facts and real evidence of political trends, for satistical polls and deflections of imaginary dangers! The picture below from Iowa shows what's real.
