With just over a week to go until Election Day, a collection of Democratic candidates and supportive groups are willing to try a strategy that several party strategists acknowledge has not been very successful so far.

They're hoping a late rush of targeted ads and direct door-to-door outreach focused on January 6, 2021, and the threat to democracy can anger and scare enough of their own base and peel off still undecided voters to counter the momentum they sense moving toward the GOP.

A dozen panicked top Democratic strategists and party leaders acknowledged to CNN that the party has largely failed to get voters to think of GOP candidates' election denialism as disqualifying or to convince Americans to prioritize democracy when they cast their ballots. What Democrats haven't done, these strategists said, is connect that argument to voters' more immediate concerns about the economy and rising costs.

Because most anyone with a brain agrees that it was stolen.

“...direct door-to-door outreach..”

Let the door to door vote=harvesting begin. “We’ve filled out your absentee ballot. Sign and date it, you get $10. Don’t you get hit 10 times with this club. What’ll it be?” Republicans had better have an army of poll watchers.

Nobody buys that crap. The border, inflation, crime and nuclear annihilation dominate. Unemployment is going to move to the top of the list real soon, too.

Those Hail Mary items and Climate are near the bottom of people's worries.

They absolutely REEK of desperation.

First, Nancy Pelosi says she was scared to death on Jan 6.

Now, she says she was ready to strip to the waist and Duke it out with President Trump.

Lies lies lies

Get out and vote. Take friends and family and educate them on the way to the polls.

We must absolutely crush the democrats, but just gain majorities. This will send a message to the GOP as well.

Ultra-Mega-MAGA or bust.

People, including Dems, know that things were much better until about two years ago.
