The Catturd Deficit “We've been obeying in advance” with Michele Hornish
The Democratic Party's official stand for one year of this century—2008—was that Democrats should compete everywhere.
Look up what happened!
Since then, Democrats have let negative partisanship and the far right’s devouring of rural America scare them away from competing in too many places. And when that happens, it leads to things like JD Vance in the U.S. Senate.
Michele Hornish, the executive director of Every State Blue, wants to change this.
Her post “Do Not Obey In Advance: How Democrats Have Broken the First Rule” sold me on her mission. And we think everyone needs to know what Blue Ohio is doing and how small donors can make a big difference.
This movement requires a long-term investment. However, it can also have almost immediate payoffs by helping turn out voters who could help send Sherrod Brown back to the Senate. Which really matters. Look it up.
Listen and find out if you have broken the first rule.
