Life-long Democrat with roots in the Minnesota DFL

Great to meet other Democrats and if you like to argue with dim-witted Righties, go to http://www.partisanlines.com/forums/politics.14/ and join the political forum. It's a coin collector forum but it has a political discussion area. There are only like 3 of them but they try to dominate the forum with the usual lame Right wing talking points. Look for David, CoinOKC, and rlm's cents. They are fun to play with.

If the Democratic Party Wanted to be Smart in 2016

They would pour millions and millions into getting the vote out efforts in a huge daily advertising campaign from tomorrow through Election Day. Make voting seem like a party. Make voting the thing to do. Promote the idea of voting as if it were the equivalent of political Mardi Gras, the fourth of July, and spring break combined. Forget fighting the GOP's messaging battle, just emphasize voting, voting, voting. We have the numbers but lack the rank and file commitment. Play it smart for once DNC. Forget thinking people are bright enough to go out and vote on their own because it is in their best interests. That strategy has failed too many times.
