[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is what happens when seats go uncontested and the GOP is given full reign to rule with no accountability.[/quote]
That sounds like you’re dumping responsibility for this in the lap of the Democratic Party. Is there any reason you can’t just assign blame to the forced birthers, the GOP? This isn’t on the Democrats. [/quote]
The Democratic Party of abandoned state & local elections in favor of the presidency and Senate. They  abandoned Howard Dean’s 50 state strategy when Obama was elected. This is just a fact.

The good news is that Democrats now understand the importance of state and local elections and are kicking butt. Look at Michigan and Pennsylvania. North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, even Arkansas had an incredible filing cycle this year. In all but Arkansas, Democrats are contesting every single state Senate seat and almost all state house seats. I am very optimistic of the trajectory, but it will take time to crawl out of the hole that the Dem party put us in when they abandoned Dean’s strategy.

As a Democrat, I think it’s very important to be clear eyed how we got here. Yes, the GOP ante awful but we let them have the seats. We let them become so powerful that they can redraw the lines so that we could not compete.

If you want to change this trajectory, I donate and volunteer to organizations that are doing this. 
I give monthly to Blue Ohio & Blue Texas help fund state legislative races and register voters.

I volunteer with Betos group to register new voters. Last cycle I knocked doors and made calls in VA. I’m not complaining. I’m just stating fact and I’m taking action.

Not sure Michigan is a win this year in a national election. Local and state wins, yes. National, I don’t think so. Same for Pennsylvania. [/quote]
2016 was the last time any Republican won all of Michigan or Pennsylvania but keep ignoring actual election results. [/quote]
Please reread before commenting. Nobody said “won all”.  [/quote]
Pardon my imprecision. Since 2016, no Republican has won any statewide election in Michigan or in Pennsylvania, and none of them have been close. Plus the Democrats flipped both houses in the Michigan legislature and the Pennsylvania House. Plus the 2020 presidential elections were not close there, despite Trump’s crying about how they were disputed. And the Michigan state GOP is bankrupt. Is that clearer?[/quote]
