3 ways the Dems can win in November

We have come to a crossroads in the history of the USA both locally and internationally. This election could very well mark the final downfall of the US empire OR it could mark the start of a New Great Era. Like France, we have several deep coalitions working right now across the United States and effectively persuading the American voters regarding the upcoming elections. You should know that these numbers are big enough to certainly destroy whatever pre-laid plans the Democratic Party had in store, as evidenced by the uncommitted votes in States across the nation. Arizona specifically is no exemption. Folks want to be heard. Right now our Phoenix police are known to be corrupt and deadly, houselessness is a death sentence, and our market has been overrun by corporate profiteers. Right now it seems the Democratic Party has three choices each with varying degrees of possible success. Each of these are things that we could be working toward on a state level as well. 1. We could put forth legislation or executive orders right now regarding reparations in the United States/Arizona. This is such a long overdue act that making a substantial step forward between now and voting day could significantly impact peoples willingness to vote for Dems regardless of the Israel issue. 2. Embargo Israel. In all the ways we can do so at the state, county, and city levels. If you do this, the uncommitted voters will vote Democrat. You won’t have trouble landsliding the vote. 3. The DNC could replace the presidential candidate with VP Harris. Not many uncommitted voters are more committed to her but, at a minimum, it would give them and all of us an opportunity to vote the first woman into office in a best case scenario (as a Democrat). A strategy of all three of these could guarantee a Democratic victory, but any of one of them alone would probably be significant enough to win in November. As Martin Luther King Jr. reminded us “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” These are all three areas in which we are on the tail end of a 400 year long arc. Will you be the administration that allows these justices to be achieved or will you be the administration that threw the United States into the flames? I'm hoping, praying, and writing each of you in favor of the first. PS. An important strategy I forgot to include is that of partnering. I mentioned France in my very first few sentences because we just saw the left have a big victory there because the many coalitions came together. If the Dems (as a coalition) were to accomplish the first three things I recommended, there is a certainly a possibility to pull the green party voters and uncommitted voters back to the Democrats by working together with candidates like Jill Stein, Cornell West and Claudia de la Cruz. Be open to coalition building or the coalition will be built without Dems.
