I was having a discussion with a political strategist.
She said that this time around (with social distancing) that more than ever before that campaigns are relying on their supporters trying to reach unregistered, undecided, and apathetic voters.
She said that we should all think in terms of making a list of people we know that fit into that category.
We should then start to slowly get them interested in voting for Biden (or Just voting against Trump) by finding their trigger hot button issues.
She said these types of people only will vote if they see a direct reason that will impact their lives.
She said to ignore any Evangelicals that are anti abortion because they are unreachable.
Otherwise, have at it.
So, I am making out my list today and will start working on them.
Only 17 more weeks to go before the election.
My goal is to win over 2 new voters per week.
Imagine if everyone here did the same.
Happy voter hunting, my Dem friends.

If anything it will get him re-elected. I talk to many people that would vote for a Democrat are agreeing with Trump too much lately.

(58,785 posts)Great post, Funtatlaguy. Most we know vote and/or are hard cores, but there are a couple newer acquaintances who seem likely to not vote. Pretty good guess that, whatever hot button issues they might have, the Republicans have been or are planning to screw them over on them.

Not just federal support but I've also been reading that Rethugs have been defunding local (county) health departments for a long time and that's having a direct serious impact on coronavirus response.
