Nobody says we have to abandon our other causes. What we need to do is stop answering in response to pointed questions and dictate our own agenda that is appealing to a greater number of voters.
When Republicans are asked questions they don't want to answer the response is to change the topic or claim ignorance of the facts.
Obfuscation is the agenda. Maybe the best thing to come out of this administration is the obvious difference between the parties.
Some non-voters and uncommitted "independents" can't seriously claim that both sides are the same. They are responsible for this debacle whether they admit it or not. The question is, will they be paralyzed with guilt or convince themselves it wasn't their fault.
We need to convince them it's in their best interest to vote Democrat no matter what.
As for what Republicans believe, if they can't see what this administration is truly about then they like this agenda. They are lost. It's not our job to appeal to them by changing our agenda. It is our leadership's job to better convey our message.
