We need to let religious Democrats and independents talk about their faith and why they realized they need to vote for Ds instead of Rs. There has to be religious outreach, not just political outreach. Not every liberal is an atheist or agnostic. One of my brothers-in-law is a retired protestant minister who is smart, educated, and compassionate. He has survived cancer twice and now has Parkinson's. He unfailingly votes for the Ds, and still does all that he can for others.

I wish some ambitious writer would publish about this myth and why it fails the smell test, and bring the receipts. Also, that some speechwriter or communications wonk in the White House would crib from it for Biden's chats, talks, and other speech. Those running in Congress this year might also benefit.

I hear your clarion call. I only offer that I know plenty of people who do not pay attention. One could charitably identify them as "low information voters."

I refuse to go along with any political party on a "my party right or wrong" registration. I live in a blue state and am independent. I will only vote for an R if the D is further to the right than the R. In other words, I haven't voted for an R in 30 years, and it's looking like I never will.

Yet the Democrats have greatly bungled their messaging and in paying attention to what skullduggery the opposition was up to since Watergate. Sure, they're less evil than the opposition as a group, but they're capable of their own shenanigans. No party affiliations for me.

Just the fact that the stickers are still up, and have been effective since they went up, is disheartening. I'll still do what I can, but...lies and smears are easy (all it takes is a sticker!). Truth and getting out the vote is harder. We need more helpers, effective counter mesaging, and much, much more money.

how the word democrat and majority can ever appear in a sentence next to each other is proof of the failure of our education system.

not sure why when democrats don't even count actual votes.

I agree with you. I'm what nicer atheists call a "person of faith" and taking the Sermon on the Mount as actual instruction is why I keep voting Democratic. Whenever anyone asks me why I'm voting for Stacey Abrams this year I'll say "because she's a good Christian woman." Maybe it will make some neighbors think, for a change?

The strongest economics recovery in history, coordinated vaccine rollout resulting in a near end to COVID deaths by the vaccinated, and an actual infrastructure bill.

Americans are better off then they were two years ago by all empirical measures.

Don't be so sure... Democrats and the MSM have six months to invent distractions and deflections.
