When I hear, "Precinct level politics, I really hear LOCAL GOVT.

And if that is really what this group advocates, well I'm sorry I missed knowing it was a group after all this time.

Has the trickle down effect of Republican won Governor races gotten you down yet?

1. Local Election without mentioning our President

The Alabama county I live in has a 92% white population. The local Democrat Club is supporting the local candidates for offices, but there is no signage or mention of the national election what so ever. The Democrat Club promotes the coming election with benign signs such as "Vote Democrat." The local Democrat candidates are using red and white political signs and tee shirts as if it will trick the Republicans into voting for them. There is no effort to be inclusive or to reach out into the communities of color to participate in the Democrat Club functions or meetings.

It is as if the county Democrat Club is purposely avoiding any link with the Presidential election. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? We need help in addressing this issue. Hope it is not too late.

That's an interesting description. Also, "Vote Democratic" would better identify who you are, AV...

However, I'll give you another chance, just where are you and who are the local candidates?
