I'm busting my ass, doing everything in my power
To replace (R)Todd Young with (D) Thomas McDermott Jr. in the US senate this midterm. Mayor Tom is getting out spent 10-1 but he's not giving up. I wish Dems would pay more attention to this state. it's not nearly as red as some think, polls be damned. I'm embarrassed how Indiana was deceived by the child of Bayh whom ended up driving a stake into the democratic party in this state that we are still recovering from. I was one that bought the bullshit of the youngest governor the state has known, only to be let down by someone who held self interest over public service. it's not always easy to spot smart charlatans, likeable carpet baggers, especially when you're young. I'm embarrassed by how much the rural and semi rural towns in this state bought into the christofascists repuke revival show that barreled into this state after it was devastated, 'softened' by the initial repuke artillery barrage of union busting, corporate farm land grabs and decimation of education. They did to this state and other agri states the same, the exact same thing, they did to the coal mining states of the east. Textbook.
Indiana may not turn blue this midterm but there are very positive signs for 2024, especially among younger voters. I can' tell you how many younger voting age people I call who are willing to engage, listen and respond with more positivity than expected to the message we are trying to get out. It's nearly 2 to 1 compared to voters I contact over 40. That's a positive sign to me that Thomas's message, the party's message and the progressive message is landing where it counts, the future.
But the fight needs to really go into overdrive as we enter August. We all here know how threatened that future could be no matter what if these fascists win on Nov. Thats part of the message we are trying to get out on these calls. I really encourage everyone, engage as much as you can, locally on up. I'm not doing much but I'm telling you, the positive feed back I'm getting from these calls is ever increasing as the weeks go by. As flat out pissed i get at the overall picture at times, this glimmer reassures me all is not lost, that we can beat these assholes on any piece of dirt in this country if we try hard enough.
NEVER give up
