10. Getting 800,000 new voters registered.?GTFOH for anyone that does not want to give credit where its

due.

What dems need to do, is follow suit nationwide. Stop going after the " working class vote" - And we know who they are talking about there. Its not the black or brown bus driver, waitress, beautician, " essential workers", nursing assistants. Nah. Those folks are not "working class" I suppose.

Nah, instead we've already turned to scapegoating some of the people in our own party. Without whose hard work, defeating trump would have been impossible. Finger pointing and blaming instead of thinking we have a white supremacy problem, we have a voter suppression problem, we have an ignorant electorate problem, many of whom buy into conspiracy theories.

Take a page out of Stacy Abrams book. Despite record numbers of people voting. We are still not anywhere near the majority of people voting. How about we work to activate those non voters to build up our base, instead of chasing after " the working class" who are NOT coming back or will NEVER be democrats. They do not have democratic values. They will find any damn excuse to not vote for democrats, and then we parrot their bullshit.
