Sweeping Democratic victories in off-year elections seem to be foreshadowing a very good midterms for the party, and one expert believes it’s even bigger than that.
“This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to fundamentally transform legislative power,” Heather Williams, president of the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC), which focuses on electing Democrats to statehouses, told Mother Jones.
I agree, our messaging is so bad in terms of actually reaching these people. Politicians need to get out of their comfort zones and give a compelling message to these voters.
It’s shocking how little of the Democratic platform even reaches these people’s ears and what little they do hear is wishy washy corporate speak rather than giving direct ways a progressive platform can change their life for the better.
