DUmmies figure out how to win in 2018 and 2020

[FiddyBeowulf]

It involves Hillary's winning (had Trump/Russian not stolen the election) strategy from 2016, insulting half the electorate.

"I asked Trump voters in Michigan about the Russia investigation. They said it's fake news"

7. And these are the people to whom we're supposed to "reach out"

Facts and evidence do not convince them. Even personal tragedy won't necessarily sway them, because I've seen them simply blame their Trump-induced hardships on Obama.


These voters are not worth the effort it would take to persuade them.

11. I agree with you.

Trump voters are not worth the effort to try to convince. We're much better off talking to the disenfranchised - those unable to register to vote because of the onerous processes in many states, those crosschecked off voter lists etc. Let us use our money to reach out to these people, to streamline their registration process and make it as painless as possible. If it would be legal, perhaps a non-profit, non-partisan organisation could be started in each state that would even reimburse people for lost wages due to voting registration - go out publicly to get both democratic and republican state senators and congresspeople on board, leaning heavily on the patriotic, democratic message to shame the Rs who know they only win if turn-out's low into participating.

Trying to tailor our approach to the white working class voters who voted for Trump is a lost cause, and they don't deserve the money or energy needed to get them. Disenfranchised minority voters do deserve it.

12. Great post!

You've identified the perennial failing, I think: we bust our asses to win over a small number of far-from-certain center- and right-voters while ignoring thousands upon thousands of willing but disenfranchised voters, not to mention the countless discouraged voters who stay away from the polls.


But by all means, let's coddle the racists for the precious white votes!

9. Yeah, I read stuff like this...

And my sympathy drops to zero. **** those assholes.

They still have no idea why they lost.

I have asked and asked, but no one answers my questions.  Who are these people walking around in society, collecting benefits, traveling to and fro, living without the possibility of purchasing a bottle of beer or a box of wine, who do not have and cannot get personal identification implements?  No chance of having a state-issued ID card, passport, driver's license,  or anything else that can tell others, as needed, who they are and where they live.

How in the name of Public Housing Vouchers do this people make it day-to-day??  And why should we let them vote just because they exist???

News flash for ya DUmmies:  Even my many Libtard FB friends aren't excited about the whole Russia schtick and don't post anything about it there.  If there was any mileage to this, they'd be tearing up the internet with inane hooting.  This is what folks call an 'Indicator.'  The Beltway crowd and the MSM, including Fox, thinks it's the story of the decade, but the people out in the land don't.

Trump voters are not worth the effort to try to convince. We're much better off talking to the disenfranchised -Meaning the dead and illegals those unable to register to vote because of the onerous processes in many states,meaning you need to get off your dead ass and sober up enough to go fill out an application. those crosschecked off voter lists Because the y are dead, illegal or otherwise not qualified to vote.etc. Let us use our money to reach out to these people, to streamline their registration process and make it as painless as possible.Meaning we can falsify all the necessary documents needed to win If it would be legal, perhaps a non-profit, non-partisan organisation could be started in each state that would even reimburse people for lost wages due to voting registrationMeaning pay them to vote Dem, ie buying votes. - go out publicly to get both democratic and republican state senators and congresspeople on board, leaning heavily on the patriotic, democratic message to shame the Rs who know they only win if turn-out's low into participating.

Meaning trying to make intelligent people believe out bullshit story that we know best what's good for them.

The White working class has had enough of having you piss away our tax money on waste and welfare for a bunch of lazy ass deadbeats. We are smart enough to see through your veneer of caring. We don't want socialism.

Don't let the DU-folk in on this little secret, but the black, Hispanic, Asian, and Venusian "working class" have the same mortgages, the same bills, the same educating their children, the same practical lifestyle concerns as do the "white working class". The Neptunians and Uranians don't though. They don't work. I think many DU-members are Neptunians and Uranians.

I think they are Uranians, as their ideas are straight out of uranus.
