There's stuff to be positive about, even if it is worrisome. The fact of the matter is that 25% of Republicans on a national level have voiced their displeasure with at least the perceived incumbent candidate. I wish I could tell you that he was for sure going to fall over dead tomorrow, but I can't. That having been said, the current Republican platform, which lets face it, is entirely MAGA, resonates with the same people it's always resonated with; it doesn't with the broader public; and this abundantly clear in the suburbs, particularly in the swing states. Any defectors we peel off or just get to sit at home is just gravy on top for us. Also bear in mind, that in 2016 it took a completely unenthused electorate behind a bad candidate combined with them getting every nut job out to vote. They did it, and ever since that time, Democrats have been winning on every level.
It's scary to play a game of brinksmanship even if you think there is an 80% shot you win. On the national level, I like many of the numbers we are seeing. This is pretty much all going to come down to young people like yourself, and your ability to recruit your peers. It's our biggest advantage, and frankly this group, 30 and under, will determine this outcome. So if you are feeling down, I hope this motivates you and reinvigorates you; you will make the difference; we need you, and we need you to recruit voters.
