On Defeating Wisconsin Republicans

2018 is the year Wisconsin Democrats hit the target or
the year democracy perishes in the Progressive State.
Madison, Wisconsin — On June 30, 111 days from now, absentee ballots will be mailed for the Aug. 14, 2018 Wisconsin Fall Primary.

Wisconsin voters will choose a candidate for the Democratic Party nominee for governor.

One hundred-and-eleven days in statewide-campaign time is a sprint.

On March 10, absentee ballots will be mailed for the April 3, 2018 Wisconsin Spring General Election featuring two candidates for Wisconsin Supreme Court.

Twenty-four days is a sprint.

The gubernatorial and this Supreme Court race are nearly equal in importance.

Advice for Democrats, progressives and those with a passing interest in the health of Wisconsin:

Repeat over-and-over the message, the fact, Republicans oppose democracy. Republicans work for special interests, against you.

Any voiced defect or criticism in messaging by Wisconsin Democrats should be given a hearing by Wisconsin Democrats.

Now is not the time for Wisconsin Democratic Party tribalism, for Party hacks, for careerism, group-thing, political malpractice, badly performing consulting firms, and all-around fuck-abouts who have exhibited campaign incompetence so potent Wisconsin's Lost Decade under Republican rule, (2011-2019), will take years to recover from.

Wake up. See what the city of Madison is doing in facilitating voting: Badger your municipality to replicate it.

See what Patty Schachtner did in the January 2018 State Senate special election pushing local control and clean water: Learn from it.

Have someone willing to blanket a critical voting area with signs and lit: Give him or her what she needs now.

Don't fuck this up.
