The Caribbean's experience with advocacy is similar to that of the Pacific island nations, and there is a lot of room for collaboration both intellectually and spiritually in that domain. This campaign drew a lot on shared ecological stewardship between native pacific islanders and Maroons.

Basically, a big problem with tbis election cycle is that democrats really didn't offer strong policy alternatives, and instead contorted themselves rightward to try to entice republican voters
