House Democrats have just expanded their Red-to-Blue Target List to 21 seats the DCCC aims to flip. Truth be told, I think this is far too conservative. In my opinion, we should be aiming to flip EVERY Congressional District where a Republican won by 10 percent or less.
I love reading your passionate, energized and enthusiastic writings about our wonderful country, Simon. I’ve always loved our country but I’ve really grown in appreciation of our country and the messiness and greatness of it as a community member of Hopium Chronicles.
With the democrats over performing polls in special elections and Trump under-performing some polls in Primaries........is it possible some savvy democrats are telling pollsters they are voting GOP/Trump along the lines of DNC supporting the extremist option in down ticket primaries?
I live in South Florida and I am concerned about the Cuban and Venezuelan citizens who are being pulled to the right by right- wing Spanish language radio. These are people who either themselves, their parents or grandparents came to the US to escape authoritarianism and are now willing to vote for the very thing they were trying to get away from. How they don’t see this, I don’t know other than to say they are being fed lies and misinformation. The Democratic Party needs to do more to reach this demographic. Simon, perhaps it’s time for an “Afterward-2024” Spanish language piece to accompany the previous two.
Such a good line: “COVID confused our current President [rRump], and his refusal to tackle the pandemic head on has done lasting harm to the American economy and the health of its people.”
I love the reprint of your article from 2020. I would love to see a similar article now for 2024 that outlines just as concisely the positives of this last 4 years administration, the contradictions on immigration and why the bipartisan bill that was stalled by Trump Republicans in the house is necessary and expected to be implemented but used as a pawn to blackmail the electorate; how Trump and the GOP are calling for more reductions or eliminations to our “safety net” policies such as Social Security, Medicare, the Affordable Care Act, and Medicare to exact reverse Robin Hood policies giving more money to the rich and break the backs of working Americans despite proclaiming they’re making America great again. We need to point out how those Trump GOP policies have created economic slow downs in the middle class that has contributed to worsening mortality rate of middle class working Americans due to less safety net programs than other developed “rich” nations. We need to show how Democratic Biden policies strengthens safety net programs, infrastructure, the economy and healthcare to boost the middle class working individuals, expand support to our citizens struggling to realize the American dream and fortify the future for our youth (our grandchildren). 👵🏻
I’m praying that Biden wins in a landslide!!!!

Build Back Better is the progressive response to Project 2025.
