Where, as a party, do we go from here? [View all]

Marc Elias’ lawsuit got blocked in Louisiana.

Alabama is trying to redraw, Tennessee is trying to redraw, so is South Carolina, not to mention Florida.

This thing was ours for the taking until Wednesday. Now, I’m finding it harder and harder to be energized as MAGAts on Twitter are acting like we’re going to go extinct while our side is panicking we’re going to become a permanent minority and the thought we’ll never have power again.

We know the felon is unpopular, we know it’s a midterm year, we also know this was a real game changer and this is not 2018 and 2020.

Do we ride the wave of the unpopularity of gas prices and the war? Do we talk about affordability and how that hasn’t happened? Do we hope the gerrymandering inadvertently becomes dummymandering in some states?

People may be done with the felon, but the felon isn’t done with us. Even if people vote for us, will we still win?
