(27,448 posts)that's why people vote, get worked up about revolutions and movements. The applause and press coverage goes to their heads.
Who are these people in swing states that need rallies and attention all the time? Is it the 19th century when candidates traveled around by train and stopped in towns to give a speech and wave -- nobody has TVs, computers, radios, no way of knowing anything about the candidate without seeing them in person? Why are they uniquely clueless and needly? Why do candidates need to practically move there to get elected? Who goes to Democratic rallies -- Republicans and Independents? Why would they go to a Hillary rally?
Michelle Obama said don't sit around waiting for the campaign to contact you, DO SOMETHING. People sound like big babies whining that they're being ignored, the local campaign office doesn't have enough lawn signs, why hasn't anybody been around to kiss my butt and beg me to vote? Boo hoo. This makes me cranky.
Ignoring all the real reasons for what happened in 2016, these stupid "reasons" that weren't even true.
