In reply to the discussion: hey Jill Stein how is that "Hillary is worse than trump" line going for you? [View all]Orsino
(37,428 posts)Some of those Stein and Johnson voters must be second-guessing themselves by now, and if they were inclined to vote against dumbass fascism last year, some of them will be joining us next year. If they bought into the decades of Clinton-hate the MSM fed us, well, I think it unlikely that a Clinton will be running for president in 2020, and even were Hillary to run again, I think that fewer of them will be fooled again.
There are tens of millions more votes out there to win, though. We need to engage more people who don't consider themselves voters, since the GOP's gerrymandering is still in play. They have the usual electorate nearly neutralized, so we absolutely have to swamp them with new voters. Wagging fingers at third-party voters is fun and was possibly therapeutic, but there are much more significant demographics to win. We need to orient toward the next election, not the last.
