Hi Friend,
To defeat Trump in 2024, we need to build a gigantic Blue Wave.
So I just launched a Blue Wave newsletter on Substack with our plan to mobilize 100 million Democratic votes and elect Democrats everywhere.
The first post is below - if you like it, I'd love for you to subscribe here.
Thanks for all you do!

Got the Polling Blues? Let's Build a Gigantic Blue Wave!
Joe Biden is the most successful President since FDR (h/t Simon Rosenberg).
Donald Trump was even worse than George W. Bush (the previous worst), and could be convicted of as many as 91 felony counts next year.
Would that matter? Of course it would.
The same NY Times poll showing Trump ahead in the battleground states shows Trump losing if convicted.
“If he was convicted, there’s absolutely no way — I can’t elect a criminal as my leader.” - Dakota Jordan, Arizona.
So we have 2 choices:
Sit back and wait for a jury to pronounce Trump “guilty!”
Get to work building the biggest Blue Wave in history - big enough to re-elect Biden-Harris, hold the Democratic Senate, flip the Republican House, and elect Democrats everywhere.
Let’s picture this: 100 million votes for Biden-Harris
In 2020, not a single poll predicted Joe Biden would get 81 million votes - 15 million more than Hillary Clinton. And because of Covid, Biden barely campaigned!
According to Pew, if everyone had voted in 2020, Biden could have won 120 million votes - and beaten Trump by 20 million instead of 7.
So can we build a gigantic Blue Wave big enough to deliver 100 million Democratic votes?
As Barack Obama famously said, “Yes We Can!”
Here is our plan:
Abortion is still the winning issue. So let’s mobilize the 70% pro-choice majority with Vote Pro-Choice, which works to elect pro-choice Democrats everywhere. Vote Pro-Choice is also helping local partners pass pro-choice referenda in key states: Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, and South Dakota. So let’s join Vote Pro-Choice!
Let’s register every GenZ voter who cares about reproductive freedom, LGBTQIA+, climate, guns, student debt, healthcare, and other progressive priorities. 15 million more GenZ youth will be eligible to vote in 2024, and when they register they vote Blue! So let’s use SwipeBlue to text all your unregistered friends and relatives - we can start today!
Let’s recruit 1 million Phone Captains who will register, persuade, and mobilize every Democrat in their phone contact list. Our SwipeBlue relational organizing app is free, easy, and fun - and we already have 35,000 users who average 300 Democratic friends. How many Democrats do you know? Install SwipeBlue to find out!
Our Blue Wave plan is ambitious - but completely achievable. And if we accomplish it, we will defeat Trump, elect Democrats everywhere - and save American Democracy.
So let’s get started!
