(10,173 posts)10. Yes, it's true that we also tie in republican national figures to local races..
Still there's only so much money to go around and we have to be smart. I am still encouraged by Ossoff overperforming expectations and that trend shouldn't be ignored but some obvious mistakes were made and maybe if SC had more support it would have gone Dem.
I think the experiment they ran in SC is something to note going forward: The Mercers and Trump's data analysts micro targeted the Dem base last year, we must respond to this effort focusing on Dem values in a very personalised way to our base as well and control the narrative. Don't let them define us.
