The sad future of the democratic party
#74
RE: The sad future of the democratic party
Aaaaand .... back on topic:

I'm not seeing what's sad about it.

Ignoring the pro-Trump supporters, who I suspect are a minority, the not-Clinton and the pro-Bernie voters and the newly awakened WTF-is-going-on non-voters are a majority... big enough to counter the gerrymandering and voter suppressing thumb on the scale.

But they need a positive message. The "I'm with her" or I'm not Trump" identity politics crap didn't cut the mustard.

The message, as always, will be "Hope and Change" because that's what people vote for (emotionally).

The Republicans have been saying "It wasn't us, it was him" for a long time but they now have two years of obvious accountability. The Dems need to make this obvious. Make a show of protest but don't do anything to actually stop the madness (see Lizzie W's tactics with her Sessions game - that woz smart) ... the worse it gets, the better.

Pain Points and Trigger Events:
1) Let the pain build - and it's got to hurt people's pockets and their pride
2) Prepare the message, lay the groundwork
3) Wait for the trigger event...
4) Harvest the Grapes of Wrath.
