This is the letter I just sent to my state Senator. I attended a county Democratic Party meeting and

was extremely disappointed. I will serve as an election judge in November.

Senator,

I cannot begin to tell you how disappointed I was on Wednesday night to hear your comments at the McLean County Democratic Party meeting.

I expected an experienced Democratic leader to vigorously
defend our Presidential candidate against the media/pundit slurs and ageism. However, although admitting how successful President Biden has been over the last four years, you joined the chorus. It reminded me of how the Democrats abandoned Jimmy Carter in 1980.

The job of local Democrats should be pointing out the massive accomplishments of our President and getting out the vote. Not calling for a change of candidate after the primaries and within a few months of the election.

You are entitled to your opinion, but I will be seeking a state representative who supports the values of the average voter and rhose of the national party.

1. Any idea why they are doing this shitshow?

It doesn't make sense to say "Joe can't win". The candidate doesn't matter. It's democracy vs fascism.

4. This is discouraging.

Most of the Democratic central committees are run by older people, so this is even harder to fathom.

Maybe it would be worthwhile to express your disappointment to the Illinois County Democrats County Chairs Association. The executive director's name is Dan Kovats. He can be reached at PO Box 3445 Springfield IL 62708.

Let him know what you think a central committee should be doing. We are the foot soldiers, and we matter in a blue state. While you are at it, consider running to be a precinct committee person. This would be a step up from being an election judge, and it is not scary, no matter what some people might tell you! You might do more good there and you would have a vote on county policy.
