Great thread on Bluesky "we really let people off the hook unjustly when we don't attempt to campaign in certain places"
Imo we really let people off the hook unjustly when we don’t attempt to campaign in certain places. I feel like we need to set the expectation that Americans should not be voting for the GOP anytime or anywhere.

I thought this was an excellent point and it's something that I hope gets more attention. There are indeed certain races where the only choice is a Republican so they win by default and people in those districts don't even get a chance to hear our message. Even if the Democrat won't win it still brings our message to the district and builds momentum hopefully chipping away at Republican strongholds.
