then choosing one of the Republican Senate seats and directing any and all reserves to win it.
We need to do that again and again until we get a super majority rather than spreading ourselves to thin trying to win to many of the Republican seats.
Of course the other thing we need to focus even more on though is winning more of the state and county level seats as the districts as well as the voting laws are setup by the states not the federal government and that is how the Republicans have gerrymandered themselves into keeping power.

We need to contest every state. The SENATE seats aren’t gerrymandered- there are exactly two per state. And if we can take TWO in Georgia, we have the ability to take ONE in most of the states listed above.

Louisiana is a possibility- and will be in play. But so are others on that list. Iowa, Kentucky, South Dakota, Missouri are all within reach.

Have faith, work hard- and expect to win!

not win us many if anymore seats which is what we need.
It will of course take longer to get what we need this way but it can be done.
