Their leaders shout "ACAB" like a mantra. Their leaders aren't swayable.
But for every committee of 10 inflexible activists, there are 1000 voters who listen to them and there are 10,000 voters who get their newsletters and take in what they say in their decision making. You didn't go for the ten, you market to the eleven thousand.
Talking to the ten, making it a photo op, giving some public assurance of how we will tackle their legitimate issues, getting our policy proposals in the news or in the Xitter feeds of the eleven thousand.... that's how you get the concerned & frustrated voters to come over and vote for us in November. Maybe not all, but you add to our vote total (and you might even do the right thing).
People don't need their issues entirely solved; they just need hope and dialog and a legit sign of progress.
