Democrat Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett believes that the Democrat Party does not have time before the next election to convince voters to vote for them, so they should focus on their friends and family.

“I know you mentioned earlier the distractions, and it has to be us that keeps everything clear-eyed. We can’t allow the distractions to get us lost in the sauce,” the representative said to the hosts of the Zoom call, historian Heather Cox Richardson and Katie Paris, founder and CEO of Red Wine & Blue.

“For so many people, especially when I go out and I talk about the various things that we allowed them [Republicans] to distract us with and divide us with,” she said.

“One of the things that I tell people all the time is ‘Tell me what that had to do with the things that matter in your life, whether it was the trans kids,’ right?” she said. ‘”Tell me if they’re the ones that are firing y’all from y’all’s jobs right now. Tell me if they are the ones that are threatening to take the Medicaid, the Medicare, or the Social Security. Tell me how that impacts.’”

Democrats’ only message has appeared to be “hate President Donald Trump,” which has not been an attractive message to voters as Democrats watch their approval ratings fall further.

And Rep. Crockett does not have an answer for it.

“It’s not that I’m the type of person that tries to convince people that they have to see the world the way I do. I think that’s where we kind of get lost because we want to say this is only right. This is civil rights. This is what we should do, right? But we ain’t got time to convince people of our position,” the representative said.

“What we do have time to do is just be honest about it and say the reason you may be losing your farm has nothing to do with that trans kid that you thought you were voting against,” she said. “The reason you may be losing your farm has nothing to do with the war, right? Because I know how passionate people were about the war as well.”

“So it is so important that we just take the time and focus [on] our friends and our families and our neighbors and say, ‘Yeah, you know, we see the sideshow that they’re putting on.’ But at the end of the day, you tell me what matters most to you,” she said.
