Never Miss An Election Again

In 2018, Democrats won around 60 million votes in the House races, nearly the same vote total as 2016, a presidential year. In 2020, they won 77 million votes on the House level with a presidential turnout. There are more Democrats now than in 2020. We need to try to get close to 77 million votes and (heaven forbid for Republiscum) beat that number. If we reach that level, a handful of seats rated as safe Republican would likely flip because these models assume that turnouts like this will not happen. I think a realistic target is 70 million votes because that is the same amount of votes Democrats got in 2024, which is still enough to flip likely Republican rated seats (these models are ignoring the likely national environment and even if they didn't they would still underestimate the blue wave due to uncertainty).

The major point is, we need to keep this going. We need it to not merely be a matter of being more college educated and having a president of the other party we hate that is driving this turnout differential. We have to make sure that we have the type of turnout again and again. 2022 showed that we do have that coalition partially, because Democrats in 2022 got around as many votes as in 2018. Because the Republican Party won't change and they won't stop having bad policies. It cannot be just 2026. It should be 2026, 2030, and so on, and include odd years for the states that have those races.
