(14,572 posts)The Indy voters may try to keep up with news or may not, but are generally too busy to think about political issues until the week of a presidential election, and generally do not vote in off year elections.
And, the registered Republicans, some of whom are bat-s**t crazy, to be sure, but who get a steady diet of lies from hate-talk radio and Fox.
Many of the people in our big tent are also unlikely to vote in most elections.
The people on here tend to be policy wonks. At least I am if you've seen my numerous posts. And there are a number of others as well. We tend to be pretty well versed in the issues and party platform. It really is a stretch to think that of the average American, though. Think David Letterman's 'person in the street' interviews where people couldn't pick countries out on a map, or tell who their US congressional delegation was. This is MOST Americans, sad to say.
That's why we need to POUND the message across with a constant drumbeat.
