(20,709 posts)If you want someone to knock on the doors of Stein/Trump voters and treat them unlike the imbeciles they are, then I'm the wrong person. If you want to try to reason with them, be my guest. What I'm going to do is point out how destructive and insane the far left in this country continues to be.
Also, I don't see that specific policy issues make much difference to the outcome of campaigns. There are studies to back this, basically for most voters it's about things like tribalism and charisma. Even though far lefties like to pretend that it's about policy, this is just an illusion. I remember talking to Green types here on DU who would insist that the difference between 12 and 15 is enormous, but there's really not much difference between 12 and 0. We're not talking about rational human beings.
Truthfully, the difference between the parties on economic issues is already enormous, so it's just not credible to argue that the key to winning more votes is making that difference even more enormous. If differentiating the Dems from the GOP were what mattered, we would be winning in landslides.
