@nedhamson
This kind of pre-2022 election data was part of the analysis of those who got 2022 right.

That it is happening again is very good news for the #ProtectOurFreedoms side, i.e. the good guys.

"The fact that Texas is fighting against having to clarify when the exceptions that are already written into the law apply gives the game away: The exceptions were never meant to be used."

This is what Republicans want to be in place nationwide. A complete ban on abortion everywhere.

If you believe in the #TheFreedomToDecide, then please do everything you can to help #ProtectOurFreedoms, all of them.

Using MAGA's extremism to pry center right voters away from the GOP is the best activity to "fight" them.
The #ProtectOurFreedoms theme built using the race-class narrative framework is, IMO far and away the best way to do this.

But it is accelerating and we don't know how fast.

There should be little doubt that they give not a damn about democracy and will have no qualms about destroying it in order to hold power.

That said, I think we are quite clear this is true and acting accordingly to #ProtectOurFreedoms & #DefendDemocracy.

Who will prevail in the end? Time will tell.

@grenra_solarium
Biden is under water in current polling, but all GOP candidates are under water by much more than Biden.
Then there is actual performance.
People are going back to work in huge numbers month after month.
Inflation is way down, under 3% the last 6 months, under 2% the last 3 months.
Investments in new manufacturing are **way** up, in renewables even more.
Then there's the #FreedmToDecide and #ProtectOurFreedoms in general with big majority support. Biden absolutely can win.

@Teri_Kanefield has convincingly argued that Trump/Trumpism/MAGA is a political problem that no prosecution or conviction can solve.

This Lawfare conversation comes to the same conclusion; the answer to this anti-democratic, authoritarian, proto-fascist problem is we the people.

If you don't already belong to a local grassroots group working to #ProtectOurFreedoms and #DefendDemocracy, now's a great time to join.

Maybe not by Biden, but most definitely there is by us.
Canvassing, phone and text banking, especially when done early (like now!) makes a big difference.
Spreading messaging using the overarching #ProtectOurFreedoms theme and the race-class narrative framework is also really important.
Relentlessly repeating our messages - look at all the new jobs! Inflation is way down! - is hugely important as well.
We need to bury MAGA Republican candidates in 2023 & 2024.

@TonyStark @FantasticalEconomics @demvoter
If I may, a bit of messaging revision;
Voters in Ohio mostly support the #RightToDecide.
Republicans rightly fear that people who want their elected officials to #ProtectOurFreedoms will vote in greater numbers and turn them out of office.

@Bellison22 @TonyStark
Oh we're going to win alright. It's just a question of how long it takes and how much collateral damage we suffer along the way.

PS In service to speeding victory, it's "secure a government that will #ProtectOurFreedoms". Language that best helps persuade & motivate our base AND high value/high potential voters is really important.

@raynetoday @danwentzel @MariaHill
You misread (I could have phrased better); the strategy & Dean were tossed (by Emanuel).
The details are inside baseball & of little import at this point. DFA is defunct, replaced by Indivisible, WFP, Fair Fight, etc.
The grassroots is growing if not flourishing in battleground states, very effective #ProtectOurFreedoms messaging from ASO Communications & partners is both working and spreading across progressive groups.

@Sean

You keep harping on Biden. It's not just Biden, it's the entire Democratic ticket at every level in every state fighting to #protectourfreedoms

I'll put Biden's record up against Johnson:
American Rescue Plan Act
Safer Communities Act
Inflation Reduction Act
Chips & Science Act
Respect for Marriage Act
Infrastructure Investments & Jobs Act
Marshaling US Allies in support of Ukraine
Getting out of Afghanistan
Student debt relief (with a plan B - https://www.cbsnews.com/news/student-loan-forgiveness-income-driven-repayment-plan-biden-administration/)

@Sean
Your stuck an old and incorrect story.
The correct story is the one that garnered establishment/centrist Josh Shapiro a 15% margin in the PA governor's race.
Shapiro is just as beholden to corporate interests as Biden & he won by 15%.
It's all about #ProtectOurFreedoms. It's not at all about being perfect on your policy litmus test.
So, will you be part of the solution or part of the problem?
Will you work to bury MAGA and save democracy or whine about a lack of policy perfection?

@bhawthorne @TonyStark @SimonWDC
Here's the thing Brian, it's not the DNC's job to turn out young voters, it's our job.
Simon says (pun intended) and I agree that it can be done.
Are you going to join us in making it happen? Because that is the only way it will happen.
Biden isn't perfect, but as recent focus groups make clear, he's light-years better than the alternative & voters get it.
The fundamental message is all about electing people who will #ProtectOurFreedoms.

The #ProtectOurFreedoms, #TheFreedomToDecide, etc. messaging is without question effective.

President Biden's campaign leaning into this messaging is absolutely the right thing to do from every angle. All of us would do well to lean into it too.

@kevinrns @GradientU0 @unixorn @georgetakei The groups I reference above are working together to craft effective messaging for "mobisuasion" - mobilizing our base and persuading both high value (new 2018/20/22) and high potential (not yet) voters to vote to #ProtectOurFreedoms. They are specifically targeting voters on these margins and contacting them in multiple ways to do so.
Their work is supported by/based on data, continually crafting new messaging and adjusting the targets.

@unixorn @georgetakei
And why we need to keep working our tails off to inform, mobilize and persuade voters to #ProtectOurFreedoms.
Join a local grassroots group, sign up to canvass, phonebank, textbank, write letters/postcards, write letters to the editor, contribute $, **please** learn about the race-class narrative (see my pinned toots) & sign up to get the latest messaging advice from ASO Communications & partners:
https://www.wemakethefutureaction.us/

This is why we organize to #ProtectOurFreedoms.
If you aren't already a member of a local progressive grassroots group, (there are 1000s of #Indivisible groups as well as lots of others) please join one. If there isn't one to join, start one.
We have a lot of work to do.

The mainstreaming of the Republican effort to suppress the vote.
https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/04/republican-effort-to-suppress-the-vote.html

In addition to widespread support for #TheFreedomToDecide, #TheFreedomToThrive, labor rights and more, there is also strong support for Trans rights and LGBTQ rights in general.
When included in a general #ProtectOurFreedoms theme, we can increase that support and build our electoral majorities.
