Excited to join @ezraklein to talk through what happened in 2024.
There's a turnout story this cycle, but not the one we're used to talking about. With less-engaged and less-likely voters becoming more Republican, a larger turnout meant a more GOP electorate.

Local politics can be very receptive to public voices. Few people ever just show up at meetings. Showing up is how a minority of minority (maga) took over so many local positions. And showing up and speaking out is how we take back that power.
Rep. Zooey Zephyr - My Wife - just gave an incredible speech against a drag ban in Montana. It was so strong that a Republican rose to speak passionately against the bill, chastising the sponsor.
The drag ban dies in Montana, flips 10+ Republican votes!
This is the power of representation.

Creating a big tent is fine, great even. But that tent has to have a pole, a backbone, a set of values it believes in and policies it supports, otherwise it simply caves in and is no kind of shelter, gathering place or party at all.

Flood them with postcards with your complaints on it!
Remember a lot of the people in power are not digital natives. They belong to the digitally homeless.
Bags of postcards will make them fear for their seats.

It makes it harder to register to vote & will purge registered voters from the rolls.
