It appears that progressive Democrats should plan legal challenges to these anti democratic bills. And get additional people to run for legislative positions.
Absolutely. I expect we'll see a lot of lawsuits over the next several months. There are groups outside of the Dem Party that are focusing on getting someone to run for every seat next election. I'm sure the party is, too. But, they haven't been reliable in the past.
Overall, I think it will be ok. Because all of these things the right is doing is just pissing more people off, and our state is already purple. Of course, I'm an optimist and expect we'll be blue in every election.
Yes, I just saw it. I'll have more info after the legislature is over, but there are nearly a dozen House Democrats who will see primary opposition next year and well-funded groups will be behind them. The list and organizing has already began.
It's bad enough we have to fight the right, we shouldn't have to fight the left, too. Although, since these so-called Democrats are Conservative, I'm more apt to call them Dixiecrats. This will be their last session.
I just want to thank you for all your work in keeping us informed. I wish I had found you much earlier. I am starting to look ahead, when the session is over, what my next steps will be to get people mobilized and get out the vote in 2024. You'll be a primary source for info.
