John, did politics come up where you were for Thanksgiving?
For many of us, Thanksgiving is one of the few times in our polarized lives that we talk politics with people who have very different political views. (That's why we sent around the polling data below last week.)
Thanksgiving may also now be one of the political best focus groups ever.
We'll consolidate everyone's answers and share the results with key Democratic campaigns and strategists to help Dems win in 2024.

OUR THANKSGIVING DAY EMAIL:
If politics comes up at the Thanksgiving dinner table, consider mentioning this...
Dan Pfeiffer, President Obama's Communications Director and Pod Save America co-host, called our new polling "a real formula and roadmap for Democrats to adopt going forward which I think can be very, very, very useful."
With our friends at Data For Progress, we spent months diagnosing why Democrats are losing to Republicans when voters are asked who they trust on the economy -- and we discovered several solutions.
As reported by Politico, we presented these findings to the White House, Senate and House leadership, and political operatives around Washington DC. Some data is below.
Point #1: Democratic economic policy is popular, but voters aren't hearing it. We need new strategies to break through.
Point #2: We can't be high volume on everything. But if voters hear even just 3 of our most popular issues, we win on the economy.
Point #3: Trump has neutralized our advantage one of of our best issues -- Social Security. But, by picking a fight on taxing billionaires to protect (and expand) Social Security benefits, we can regain an advantage.
Want to geek out more? See the 13-slide deck here or watch us walk reporters through our deck here.
And be sure to spread this gospel at the Thanksgiving table if the conversation turns to politics! (Does your Trump-loving uncle want to cut Social Security to cut taxes on billionaires? Or would they rather increase taxes on billionaires to protect and expand Social Security? Find out!)
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
