Reply #102: Include WHO?

[Hep]

Remember, we got more votes last time, and if you combine greens, we on the left blew Bush out.

Now, I'm all for a broad political perspective, but getting republicans to vote for the D candidate is a waste of time. But allow me to elaborate.

When I went to political Activist training, I was told that you have three groups, Red, Yellow, and Green, ordered in amount of openness to your ideals. Tons and tons of liberal people didn't vote in 2000. They are receptive to our ideals but lazy, disenfranchised, or apathetic. It's a lot easier to get them to go to the polls than it will be to tell people on the right to switch their affiliation. Remember, Republicans are loyal.

I'm not saying we exclude ANYONE. I'm saying we need to focus our efforts in the right direction.
