Summary:
"A radical, urgent plan for
how
the Democratic Party and its supporters can maintain power at one of the most pivotal moments in the history of our nation's
democracy
. Why do Democrats fail to win voters to
their
side, and what can they do to develop new winning political strategies-especially as the very fate of
democracy
hangs in the balance in 2024? Too often the carefully constructed, rational arguments of the Left meet a grisly fate at the polls,
where
voters are instead swayed by Republican candidates hawking anger, fear, and resentment. Only when Democrats are handed an overwhelming motivational issue-like the Supreme Court's 2022 Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade-have they found a way to counter this effect. Political scientist and strategist Rachel Bitecofer came to prominence after predicting the size (to the seat) of the Democrats' rare Blue Wave in the 2018 midterms. At the heart of her prediction lay a powerful concept-negative partisanship, or the idea that voters, even most so-called independents, don't vote for
their
candidate so much as they vote against
their
candidate's opponent. Seen through this lens,
Hit
'Em
Where
It
Hurts
is a deep dive into the
Republicans
'
own
playbook, sharing
how
Democrats can turn the Right's
own
tactics against
them
. The way for Democrats to wage-and win-electoral war, Bitecofer writes, is to present themselves as 'brand ambassadors for freedom, health, wealth, safety, and common sense,' the very opposite of the extremist, freedom-fearing Right. This is a last-ditch effort to armor
democracy
while there is still time to
save
and strengthen it against hijacking by a small minority of ideologues. As America careens into the election cycle that will determine its democratic future,
Hit
'Em
Where
It
Hurts
is the book for any Democrat who has ever banged
their
head against a wall when obvious reasoning failed to sway voters over to
their
side. This guide is a lifeline to
save
American
democracy
in its darkest hour."--Publisher.
