A roundup of some good news in politics.
I reject the narrative that if the Democrats just had better messaging, we would have done better in the election. It’s a garbage take. Read on for what we are going to do instead.
Joe Biden won in a landslide. Trump lost both the popular vote and the Electoral College. But the Republicans still refuse to acknowledge Biden’s win. We need to take action.
Declaring a winner for that first presidential debate is rather pointless. Besides, I’m far more interested and invested in making sure Biden is the winner in November.
Studies have shown that people are very influenced by social norms, and so social media can go a long way to turn out the vote.
