6. Key is the middle 25% of Americans

Your point is a good one.

The country, very approximately, is:
5-10% racist deplorables
20% propagandized Fox watchers
25% unengaged non-news types
50% angry Democrats and liberals


The KEY is that 25% who are not very engaged. THAT is who we need to reach. Because if they are on our side the president is impeached tomorrow. That is who the GOP is trying to distract with pornstar BS while they pick their pockets.


How do we reach that 25%? If the media was saying “Russian attack on America” every single day and repeating it, that would reach the 25%. That’s why the likes of Bannon are flooding the zone with shit.

How can we at DU help? If WE are focused on the important issues we can help the nation focus on the important issues. So that’s why I think we should note the zone-flooding shit, but focus on what really matter: Attacks on America by oligarchs, whether Russian or American oligarchs.
