Democrats need to do more on abortion and guns

This is so frustrating, Republicans are so much better at achieving their goals. Democrats should have been prepared for the terrible Supreme Court decision. I will vote for them but I haven’t given them a dime in 2022. Biden is still stuck in the past which will never come back. He needs to act more like Newsom who put out a commercial attacking what Republicans have done. Pleading with us to vote isn’t nearly enough.

Biden is governing with the same placid do-nothing triangulation as many previous Democrats; they'e probably going to get the same results!

If Biden wants to keep the base fired up, he should, you know, do things that would fire up the base, not just plead with it to vote

Congressional Generic ballots since the abortion decision

Do voters want Democrats or Republicans in Congress? https://t.co/4M3WjG3Cto
— FiveThirtyEight (@FiveThirtyEight) July 15, 2022

We now have 3 Congressional Generics since Roe ended:

NPR/Marist 48 Dem 41 R +7
Morning Consult 45 Dem 42 R +3
Yahoo/YouGov 45 Dem 38 R +7
and in this poll
"Pro-choice Dem" vs "Pro-life R" is 47-32.

It's a new election. https://t.co/DdbRi3N4Nx

Misleading tweet on voter registrations

The article notes that 630,000 voters switched from Republican to Democratic so the net increase is much less than 1 million.

Great tweet by AOC on elections

She did a great job here. Telling us to vote isn’t enough.

Dem leaders must tell voters the plan:

What’s the *actual* need? Which specific seats are we focused on? WHAT votes do we need & WHERE (what states + races?)

And, what’s the return? What is Biden/Congress ACTUALLY willing+able to do at 52/60 seats?

Be honest. Details motivate

The problem with “vote harder” isn’t that voting is bad, it’s that the point of voting is to get more votes than the other side, which Democrats have done time and again, to no avail

CNN on potential Russian meddling in US 2022 elections

The Republicans are doing a great job of undermining faith in our elections. Do they really need help from their Russian friends?

New Mexico Trump supporter won’t certify an election

This will happen again and again in the future thanks to Trump and his baseless lies about election fraud.

A New Mexico county commissioner convicted for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol has vowed to defy a state Supreme Court order and not certify primary-election results in his county during a scheduled Friday meeting. https://t.co/4MwgsjkusR

Expect more of this… wake up America and GOP, this will destroy us. This is now the plan for MAGA, place people in low levels who can refuse to do their basic duty.

True the Vote, the group behind the debunked election conspiracy film “2000 Mules,” is even controversial in GOP circles.
