All of "this" isn't about 2024. It's about 2022. [View all]

Waiting for 2024 as the big enchilada will be too late. The big lie fix is about putting 2024 out of reach for Democrats.

It doesn't do any good to bemoan that we should have been all over this from the beginning (We should have). Any progress made toward any decent legislation will be moot in less than a year if we don't grow numbers in the Senate and maintain the House.

2024 isn't the most important election in a century. That comes in a few months.

A good plan would be to stop pushing and arguing over any legislation and stop meetings and conferences and considerations. All attention should be on DOJ action on Voting issues. All Democrats should embrace all Democrats. Every Democratic seat matters. I'm not sure of the real source of the quote, but "If your first priority isn't winning, it doesn't matter what your second priority is."

This is it folks.
