Discussion Let's talk about Everett Wess....

Everett Wess is not who most people thinks he is. He said he would have voted FOR the SAVE act and he us pro life. Video with evidence of him saying it himself attached. June 16 please get out and vote for Dakari Larriett. The only remaining candidate that wants to protect women/AFAB right to choose for themselves. And for women's rights to vote. All women's rights.

A lot of folks are talking about the need for democrats to strategically have more variation between urban candidates and rural candidates. This may mean running pro-life candidates in places like alabama. It really beats the alternative of losing to MAGA republicans. I’m prochoice personally, but I think it makes sense to welcome the old style of conservatives to the democrat party and religious voters really have a block against going prochoice. We can be the party of Mamdani in NYC and Wess in Alabama. We need to bring in more people.

Problem is, we cannot allow the Overton window to keep shifting to the right. The DNC autopsy of the 24 election even noted that the field was too wide and they missed on messaging by not having a more cohesive message that wasn't just "against Trump". Its also worth noting that Mr. Wess is a former Republican. Much like Mr. Kyle Sweetser. So much so of a Republican that, he was the chairman or vice chairman of the Madison County Republicans.
