Grace and Kathryn break down the surprising forward momentum Democrats are making in South Carolina’s Upstate—yes, the Upstate. Kathryn shares how her recent county council race shattered expectations, why breaking 40% in deep-red districts actually signals long-term opportunity, and what real ground-game strategy looks like when you knock 6,000 doors yourself. They also dive into the structural challenges Democrats face—from gerrymandering to voter apathy—and the messaging shifts needed to reach working families and younger voters who aren’t loyal to either party. This is a candid, data-driven look at how Democrats move from defensive worriers to strategic warriors in one of the toughest battlegrounds in the country.
