We talked the strong Biden launch, "Two Elections in 2022," ongoing MAGA ugliness, Donna Deegan and why as we head into 2024 I would rather be us than them
It amazes me how many people dialed into politics that still don’t see what’s happening in the Dem grass roots....we are sitting on such a super power and even we barely recognize it.....but the more I see the more excited and optimistic I feel about where we’re headed
Thank you for the great spirit you bring to this difficult time Simon! I have one point of order and one thing to share: 1. When you list "ground gained in 2022" I have not heard you mention how we here in New Mexico CD2 flipped the red seat blue by electing the rising young Hispanic Caucus star Gabe Vasquez - unseating election denier Yvette Herrell. 2. I must give a Shout out to Swing Left Peninsula for sponsoring the great series inspired by you "Get Loud by Using Words that Win" led very skillfully by Natalie Burdick https://www.mobilize.us/swingleft/event/558490/. I would love to see this approach to communication taught nationally, hand in hand with the powerful information and analysis you are providing.
Can you get to 55 if the outcome in NY does not change?
No, but we can use our grass roots prowess to change the outcome in NY, and thus help get us to 55 🤷♂️
Thank you Simon and team!

I love these discussions. The WaPo article the other day seems to tell us that we outperformed despite turnout from key groups being down.
