8. Our own cynicism is not helping

I've been posting on threads today and sent a letter to the DNC about seeking out true old school moderates and find a way to start elevating their voices. We need to get them to take over the Republican party as it is today and now may be the right time to do this.

I think the republican party supporters are so cynical that they have forgotten how to imagine better things for themselves. I'm talking about those republican voters that are not the beneficiary's of the current policies to enrich at any cost crowd.
If they can be found, the old school moderates, the really good ones, then we should do what we can to help get their voices out there so that these people have a choice. It's a long hard slog to rewire the brains of the cynical but it's worth a shot IMO.

Maybe the DNC or some other Org could set up a small group to focus on this.
