This will be my only comment on the bloodbath, that was the 2014 General Election ...

11. Or maybe stop doing the same thing that was a losing strategy this time around

Instead of beating people over the head, scolding them to "eat their peas," and telling them how ungrateful they are because everything is doing so well, even when their reality is far from great, or even improved. How about instead of demanding a vote, earning it?

Examples:

- Headline reads, "Unemployment is Down" but whenever someone points out that high paying jobs have been replaced by minimum wage and part time or that they are working three jobs just to stay above water, the answer is "Shut up you racist libertarian! Be grateful to have a job!!"

- OP states "My ACA premiums are $0" but someone states their own story of how their rates have doubled, their deductible gone up and their coverage a joke and is dogpiled by people calling him a liar or worse.

In the face of this loss, it is those who did the most nagging and berating being the first to jump up and tell everyone what to do. As if criticism of poor performance--instead of the performance itself--is the reason people don't vote. How about a new strategy?
