This is true. Democrats could win everywhere if they turned out their base. But, here in TN, we have around 30% participation total

Turning out base is good, but it’s not enough. Dems have *lost* a lot of what used to be our base. True across almost every demographic, most prominently Latinos but to some degree just abt every demo exc college+ white women. Gender gap used to favor Ds, now helps Rs. Reasons are complex, but…

Dems nd to do a lot of work to bring at least some of these voters back or we’re at a severe disadvantage long term.

The electoral map is hard. It’s gonna get harder. But go back to “it’s the economy, stupid”. Get away from the idiotic positions that alienate many

And, Latinos are Dems. Not Cubans, but this is shifting. They need to have solid outreach.

Yes, Latino vote’s been shifting away from Rs over last several election cycles, unfortunately, across many diff grps of Latinos. It’s now roughly 50/50, and of course the shift is even bigger w Latino men. This plus loss of white working class is lethal to Ds unless we can reverse some of it.

It’s the economic message that matters. Focus less on things like trans in sports and more on helping farmers, unions, etc
