How is it possible?
Advertisements [?]
The GOP appears to be kicking DEM butt with a minority of supporters and even though their policies are beneficial to a tiny few.
In various states the GOP is working hard to curtail voter turnout by passing laws requiring voter IDs, limiting early voting and making it more difficult for college students to vote. They are redistricting making it more difficult for democrats to win house seats. Yesterday there were reports of Pennsylvania attempting to split their electoral votes. They are going after public sector unions and working feverishly to limit a woman's right to choose.
Meanwhile, democrats are stymied in congress by the constant obstruction from the GOP and the enthusiasm that was a big part of the last presidential election is gone.
Time is running out. If democrats want to win the next election, or take back the house they need to figure out to fire up their base now and work hard for democrats not just in the presidential election but on the state level as well.
What can be done to bring back the enthusiasm for democratic candidates? If you could give democratic campaigns advice what would you recommend? What say you DU?
