1. Bc of the influence that young voter turnout played in @JoeBiden's win, action on those policy issues are PARAMOUNT to the hopes of Ds holding onto these voters showing up in 2022 @MariaTeresa1. If a narrative builds that Biden isn't delivering, even if the reason is GOP
2. obstruction. If there's no action bc of that, but the NARRATIVE doesn't tell voters that part of the story to drive up negative partisanship, then no, 2022 WILL NOT be a continuation if the cycles we saw under a Trump. The unannounced project in working on is going to be
3. focusing on that- trying to copy what Trump did and artificially inflame neg partisanship- but w/o the Rights media machine, it won't be easy! But that's what killed Obama in 2010- letting the narrative be shaped by the GOP & not offensively protecting the House majority.
4. Party can't make that mistake again.

1. It is imperative that we make clear what has/is happening in the 2020 cycle. We only saw democracy hold, we only saw the 1-39 record, we only saw the rule of law hold here in America bc of the size of the margins. @JoeBiden is positioning himself to be the incontrovertible
2. "olive branch" extender, putting forth highly-qualified & non-controversial cabinet picks to go along w his continued reliance on a "reset" w the GOP, all but begging the party to "return from the ledge" and meet him in Jan. w the intention of governing the country- something
3. the GOP stopped doing long ago when it embraced a different role, that of entrenched opposition seeking to hold power simply to hold it & to seed judges. As you know, I (sadly) think these efforts, which have really been a full "dog belly up" submission package will gain Biden

1. Keep trying to get Reps to understand, there have been 2 or 3 inflection points where they had an opp to re-seize control from Trump via coordination. They failed to act on it. They have another op right now to act together to marginalize him. Unwittingly this little GA cohort
2. provides a little "seed" for it, and the motivation, of course, is the very same senate run-off that GOPers worry that angering Trump hurts their odds in that race. But the fact is, they have lost Trump to full crazy. He's not capable of being an electoral asset down there
3. and for the 1st time, may actually spoil a race for the party bc there is a contingent of the nuts now that think that the GA race (recounted 3 Xs & matched to paper ballots!) was fraudulent also to help Kelly Loeffler steal the race from Doug Collins, the House Rep down there

1. Don't fall into a trap w the new Court & its supporting cast on these religious liberty cases about COVID regulations. So long as there are casinos open in Vegas or liquor stores/bars open, you're walking into political minefield that is easily exploitable. Should churches be
2. holding large gatherings? No! WILL they hold gatherings if they're allowed to, even though that's a bad idea on Earth 1? Yes, they will. They will hold events, then be surprised that someone managed to bring the virus to it. That one person will infect 10 others. Maybe more.
3. Maybe one of them will degrade. One might even get hospitalized. It'll a big surprise to the family, but it'll be just another story- hardly remarkable out here in Earth 2- where real news and info exists. But the fact is that you can't have schools and churches closed, but

1. I'll add to this, I still have some knowledge gaps as to how a fully funded, Red to Blue/DCCC campaign or a high level Senate race is operated in terms of the campaign's relationship w the party's org. I know a great deal, but its come to me in bits & pieces & I'd appreciate
2. a full debrief so I can better understand the whole process. But what I DO know of it there are some obvious issues, some of which the authors here allude to (when they refer to the DCCC's "one-size-fits-all" messaging approach). But I do know candidates are railroaded into
3. the party's preferred messaging and targeting systems, vendors, etc by essentially a behavioral choice system, that provides options but only within a predetermined strategic framework designed in advance. I do know that campaigns have so independence, esp if they are prolific

1. This CRAZY man's CRAZY, non-sensical, non-linear rambling, where he splices together AGAIN two distinct topics (and thus, accidentally produces something far more nefarious sounding, but since this is THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA doing that, on the topic of
2. election returns/election security is a HUGE problem. Its a problem for Reps- who hear from someone who should be a reliable source, wild accusations against an imp political figure in the opposition party, @staceyabrams, even though these allegations are outlandish & recounts
3. by-hand have already disproven Trump's claims about GA's voting system having computer bugs. So we should be gaining more confidence in its system, not less. And its also racist as hell for him to alleging that Abrams is doing illegal things. LOOOOOOONNNNGGG history of GOP or7

1. I am thankful that at 12pm 1/20 the powers of the prez will be removed from the most dangerous person who has ever held them. I am thankful for the many wonderful fellow Americans from across the spectrum that joined me to help get him out & save America from authoritarianism
2. I am thankful for each & every person that had to make a hard decision, stay silent & normalize this man & his party's actions- which mirror so closely actions taken by other leaders & parties as they moved to consolidate power at the expense of democracy (as documented so
3. clearly by @anneapplebaum's book Twilight of Democracy) bc their lock on power is threatened. Those of us that took a holistic look at events in the U.S., the scope of the Right's propaganda network, and the lengths to which GOP influencers (electeds & media) were willing to
