The idea was that, each time a Democrat felt the need to tweet about high-ranking folks in the Republican Party, they would instead research a swing district in their state, tweet about that swing district, and donate some money to that district.
Throughout 2019 and 2020, my worry about the 2020 elections was that Democrats were too focused on the presidential election. My fear was that the Republicans would exploit that focus. I worried that they would catch the Democrats off guard and gain seats in Congress.
Eventually, my fears were founded and unfounded.
The Democrats actually won enough seats in the Senate that they now, as of 2021, essentially have control of the Senate. And, even though the Democrats lost a lot of seats they simply should not have lost in the House, they still have control of the House. So my fears of the Republicans succeeding enough that they would keep control of the Senate and gain control of the House were wrong.
However, the Democrats simply should not have lost the seats we lost in the House in 2020. We lost them because we didn't pay attention to them. And, in districts we could have turned from Republican to Democrat, including here in Colorado, we not only didn't flip those seats, but we allowed some really extremist and ultra-conservative folks to take those seats.
I'm really hoping the Democrats, in Colorado and nationwide, form a good election strategy for 2022.
Thank you for reading. Please enjoy.
