This election is a binary event. Calling for Obama's defeat *IS* advocating for Romney's victory.

52. Copying what I replied to you in another thread

Tell them you need their help.

Fear isn't going to motivate them. Otherwise they'd already support Obama.

The way to drag the Democratic party to the left is through primaries. We have to put more liberal Democrats on the November ballots, and then vote for the Democrat in November no matter their politics.

What's currently happening is liberal turnout in primary elections is abysmal. And that statement is an insult to the word "abysmal". So the conservative Democrats are the ones who pick the November ballot, because they show up. Every. Damn. Time.

So ask for their help. You need their help to get more liberals to vote in primaries. You need their help to identify and support more liberal primary candidates. You need their help to drag the party left. Please help me will have to become your mantra.

And ask them to not make it harder by helping to defeat Obama in November. 2000, 2004 and 2010 all caused the Democratic party to head to the right. If Obama loses in 2012, the party will just continue heading right.

So let's get Obama re-elected, and start working on getting better candidates for primaries. It's what the Republicans did, and look how effective it's been. Let's do the same thing for our side.
