More progressives should think like this
David Pepper (“Laboratories of Autocracy“) for months has been posting mini-whiteboard chats on Twitter. The former Ohio Democratic Party state chair posted a longer thread on Friday that I urge you to take 10 min. to watch.
Basic premise: Democrats and Republicans are fighting different battles. While Democrats prioritize electing politicians to Washington, D.C., minority Republicans focus on controlling state legislatures where rules for electing them are set.
Democrats did win control of several state chambers last month. But, Pepper warns, guess who ultimately wins the war if Democrats don’t fight the right fights?
