***DEMS NEED TO DEFINE THE GQP RIGHT NOW***

Listening to FAUX news and Biden's Question "what is the GQP for?" has them thrown ... good!!.

Lets keep hitting them but we need to start NOW, we might have a chance to **PICK UP** seats this November.

Check this data out ...

Looking at the last 2 weeks generic ballot in RCP and 538 dems are UP or EVEN !!

- https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/2022-generic-congressional-vote-7361.html
and
- https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/congress-generic-ballot-polls

Why is this important ?!

As Ruck Fodd explained yesterday historically

low prez numbers,
bad Right Track/Wrong Track numbers and
bad generic ballots

... means losing in November going back to Nixon IINM.

Right now we have 2 out of three going AGAINST us ... BUT ...

Biden can fix his polling numbers cause they're mostly down with PoC, we get any traction on J6 and voter rights and focus on defending democracy I think that can be fixed.

Also

I think the M$M is misreading the right track wrong track numbers. Voters are saying we're going in the wrong direction by historic numbers, so why are dems up or even in generic?

Cause voters think the wrong direction is FROM the GQP not dems !!

WE NEED TO EXPLOIT THAT !!!!


By asking "..what is the GQP for?" (Biden start this yesterday) and then start FILLING IN THE BLANKS RIGHT NOW!!s

The GQP is for

- For more Trump and then let the trip over themselves proving us right
- For more violence, they'll no doubt prove us right one or two times before Nov on this count

Contrast them with what Biden and dems have been for

- MORE jobs and less inflation
- MORE democracy and better future

Whatever, just make sure to through Benedict Donald in the mix ... they're going to walk into that right hook.

My case to defining them RIGHT NOW is cause we have a harder time with message mechanics and we need this message to flood all info mediums for a while.

MAGA's will walk right into fronting Putin's Whore as their lord and savior to win primaries, that'll be a net negative nationwide and local ... Americans don't want more of that IE the reason I think our generic numbers are holding.

Now, the elephant in the room ... GQP voter denial, suppression and nullification

Since the gerrymandering didn't tilt the house GQP as much as M$M was claiming they're going to go hard at voter denial.

So ...We'll have to brute force vote +4 this November ...

I think that can be done with all early voting, mail in balloting and working the courts to stop the nullification parts focused on ALL races.

The GOTV has to start in summer to be prepared for early voting and mail in ballot rush.

I think this can be done

I know this is long, what say you?

We got an infrastructure bill passed that is helping rebuild bridges and roads everywhere in the US. Everyone running for office (whether it is local or state seat) should find an infrastructure rebuild project in their locality and repeat it in every speech or interview they make. Not only is the GOP doing nothing, democrats are actively doing something to help you. And republicans are the ones obstructing and preventing us to further invest into US future.

Was exactly to do this. They've got tons of footage from 1/6, Trump calling the election a fraud, and Republicans refusing to support voting rights. The ads write themselves.

... them as much as GQP.

They get dark money and just bang away at the internet, local radio, TV and local stations.

Pound it home over and over and over again. Never let up. Somebody says they're a Republican and not a racist? No problem. Tell them to leave the racist party. If they don't want to, they're a racist. Never let up.

7. Attacking the GOP is fine: but the November election will depend on inflation and Covid

If there is little inflation then Biden's numbers will rise. He can declare an economic miracle. If no Covid, then the future will seem brighter and Biden will get credit.

10. Biden's numbers CURRENTLY aren't low because of either of those factors, they're low due to PoC

... support falling off a cliff.

He'll need to fix that this year, otherwise he'd be above average

11. Actually the economy is the most important issue according to Ipsos Reuters

His support has fallen among PoC and whites. He has lost significant suburban support as well. Very informative graphic here:
https://graphics.reuters.com/USA-BIDEN/POLL/nmopagnqapa/
Look at the breakdowns by

PARTY
RACE
EDUCATION
COMMUNITY
GENDER
AGE
INCOME
RESIDENCE

over time. The second graphic shows the economy is the major issue by a plurality (22%) followed by public health (15%).

12. Hmmm, do you have a poll that separates dems/reps? I swore yesterday I was looking at polls

... that had his biggest drop in communities of color.

Either way, he's at 78% democratic party support in both our polling, I'm thinking that's fixable to 901-ish percent then his numbers come up to the high 40s and we get better rating on generic ballot.
