    Yeah, we haven't had enough time yet to really address this problem in a comprehensive and effective way, even if we had the political momentum to do so, which we haven't really.

    So, all we have in place is a smattering of stopgap measures. We have to win these next couple elections the old fashioned way–overwhelming turnout of disenfranchised voters who actually want to see better days in the future.

    Fortunately, we have a strong and experienced ground game, grassroots ground n pound is our thing. Let's just buckle down and get the job done, we know how to do this.

      The Senate map next year will be challenging. It'll be at least a little easier with it being a presidential year though. I hope people turn out.

        Ted Cruz is up for reelection, and I'm hoping the presidential election year means he's fucked. He's been able to eke by on off-year elections, which is not a good pattern for him going into 2024

          I just looked it up and there are a lot of Democrats running. I'll have to wait and see who gets the nomination. I would be ecstatic if Cruz lost.
