"If the Democrats want to avoid annihilation in 2022, they need a different approach."
Democrat voters can't control who Republican voters vote for. Democrat voters can only control who they themselves vote for. I think a different approach could be mobilizing Democrat voters to support "purple" Republicans, such as the ten House Republicans that voted for impeachment and the seven Senate Republicans that voted for conviction.
We hear the mantra, "Country over party." But is Democrat leadership willing to answer that call by mobilizing Democrat voters to support the likes of Liz Cheney, Lisa Murkowski, and a handful of others? I’d like to see #DemocratsforCheney and #DemocratsforMurkowski trend.
I think Democrat voters can also be mobilized to try and oust wing Republicans in jurisdictions that Democrats are unlikely to win such as AZ04, CO03, GA14, TX13, etc. But first, a Liz Cheney must emerge from these jurisdictions. If one emerges, Democrat voters will have their "purple" Republican candidate.
What is crucial to this suggested approach succeeding, is that Democrat leadership commit to not run Democrat candidates in these races. On the primary or general election ballot, the choice should be a “purple” Republican, a wing Republican, or write-in. A Democrat should not be on the ballot.
My hope is "purple" voters (Democrat and Republican) will lift "purple" Republicans to victory. A Republican House with more "purple" Republicans is a win for the country. The question is, "How will "purple" Republicans govern?"
