[egbertowillies]

PROGRESSIVES: I won't be negative but proactive. This turnout issue is fixable if we start telling ALL voters why we will make their lives better. It is important that those who think the Blue Wave is a sure thing, read this now!

7. For a PRIMARY!

Wait until it really counts in Nov.

That said we all need to work on getting out the vote. It is critical for our country.

Especially young people. If you know anyone 18-34 you MUST do what you can to get them to vote. That age range is heavily Dem but almost never votes!

8. The numbers were dynamic and changed but that does not change the gist of the article.

4. If

losing your
SSI
Throwing the disabled into low waged toilet cleaning jobs or picking berries
Forcing half of this country to home school their children even through they have to work two jobs
Giving all the wealth to the top 5%
Or drinking dirty water, breathing dirty air and eating out of date food

Isn't enough to get these fuckers to vote for democrat. well, they deserve all of the above. Idiocy is sometimes painful!

6. General turnout is always way higher than primary

if the Primary turnout was possibly 88% higher than '14, it will be a good turnout come Nov. But we should never become complacent.

12. You can't have people like Chuck Schumer making the campaign slogans

That article properly takes a shot at Schumer's "Better Deal" proposal. That slogan is beyond inept and it is symbolic of what is wrong with the party. There is simpleton fixation on today, and carving a slogan that fits here and now. That is garbage thinking. I've mentioned many times previously that the most successful corporations do it exactly the opposite, with a long term big picture slogan to define the company. Democrats should do the same thing. My suggestion has been, "Remarkable You." I'm not saying there aren't superior options but any option that tries to incorporate where we are in 2018 as opposed to wide scope spotlight is destined to fail.

Anyone who thinks short term when coming up with a political slogan should be removed from that position immediately.

13. If having a traitor in the White House

destroying the country daily isn't enough to get your ass out to vote then I don't know what will.
