Rule number 1: Never vote Democrat. Electing Marxists is never a solution to your problems.
Rule number 2: Participate in primaries. Playing a role in candidate selection helps elevate your overall quality of candidates
Rule number 3: Stay engaged and on top of your reps at all levels. The minute you take your eye off the ball, is the minute you drop the ball.
Also remember: elections are won in the real world, on front porches and at doorsteps... Not on social media.
SM is a side dish or an appetizer, not the main course.
