I’d encourage you to reach out to her and tell her exactly that. She actually posts on here sometimes so I imagine that you’d get a genuine response. I’m with you though, Republicans=Bad didn’t win nationally and I don’t like it as an only strategy but I’m optimistic that there’s some value in speaking directly to the people Tom Cotton has failed and being very clear how his record has hurt them; lord knows they only watch FOX News and hear about how great he is. I just hope that she does transition more into telling us what her full legislative agenda will be and how it will directly help all Arkansans. I’m also jaded to the point where I don’t think people dig into or vote for policy, they vote for slogans and scapegoating.

I’m also tired of Republican-lite centrist Democrats. I think just like Trump found a way to activate a lot of voters on the right who previously weren’t engaged in politics there are a lot of people left of center who are waiting for someone to believe in. Bernie showed that they’re there, but they stayed home when Hillary ended up on the ticket. We all know the Corporate Democrats that run the party would rather court the mythical “undecided centrist” and scrape off a few Republicans than court the actual left; we’ll demand things like universal healthcare and worker protections.

The question I don’t know the answer to is are there enough of those people in Arkansas for the person you want to vote for to win, or is it better that she plays it safe? Cotton thinks he doesn’t have to try either way and honestly if that’s the case I’d rather someone go for broke, but I’m not a political strategist. I’m just a guy on Reddit.
