Bag ‘Em, Tag ‘Em, and Drag ‘Em. Party workers need to stay connected to their voters and see their votes into the Ballot Box.
Democrats need to tweak their style so they are relevant to people’s Lives. Dems are perceived to be just a little less craven than the GOP because we show up just a little late with our hair on fire and our hand out. There is plenty we should be doing at the grass-roots level to help people navigate this torrent of travesties day after day. Find and train people who have skills in areas where the public encounters head-winds and obfuscation in dealing with Authority, and help find ways to neutralize those obstacles. And publicize the successes to enhance the perceptions that we ARE the community. We feel their pain because we actually do, and we support them by standing by them and doing the work. Advocate for them. Be seen advocating for them. In every precinct in every County in every State. ALL FIFTY!
TV ads only work if they are Negative. Not our best use of resources.
Invest in “asses and elbows”. Build a more connected and committed voter base. And a society moving Forward once again.
