Sweeping Democratic victories in off-year elections seem to be foreshadowing a very good midterms for the party, and one expert believes it’s even bigger than that.
“This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to fundamentally transform legislative power,” Heather Williams, president of the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC), which focuses on electing Democrats to statehouses, told Mother Jones.
The last guy who had that idea got absolutely railroaded for showing enthusiasm during a stump speech.
He was right, though.
Well yes, but that wasn’t enough to save him once the powers that be decided they wanted him gone.
What’s your point though? He’s was right, the party moved on and that was clearly a mistake. Now it seems like they’re recognizing that mistake and doing something about it.
Just that democrats have had this opportunity in the past and are really good at fucking it up.
Good point, they either will, or they won’t.
