(15,438 posts)I've asked them to do the same, and since they're savvier than I am on social media, they use all their accounts to spread the word as well as inform their friends and family who are Democrats and Liberals in heart and soul, but who, for some strange reason, are also a-political.
I don't understand the disconnect, but I do like it when they report back to me telling me that the people they make contact with are appreciative of the help and are looking at politics with more interest. We're getting through to them.
The grandmother of one member of my group is a Democrat but isn't crazy about labor unions or the PPACA. After he educated her on the fact that there are weekends, no child labor, a minimum wage, and regulated and safe workplaces, thanks for Unions, she's changed her mind. A little. She likes the PPACA now, too, and has applied for Medicaid. But I'm not gonna lie. It took a whopping four months - and she's a registered Democrat! *sigh*
Baby steps, I guess. But it's better than no steps at all.
