Lack of Voter Turnout Isn’t the Problem

21. Why are Democrats not turning out? They turned out in 2008.

Was that because Bush was so bad people were motivated to vote, or was it because the Democrats were delivering the kind of message that voters want?

We can say 'everyone should vote or we will lose' over and over again, we know that, but voters vote when they have something to vote FOR.

So, maybe if at least in this group, we could stop admonishing people for not voting or for how they vote and start WINNING them over.

How do we do that? THAT is the question we are trying to answer here.

'Blaming the Voters' when they are not being given something to vote for, they are tired of voting AGAINST something, is a waste of time and will only lead to more people not voting.

We DO need full participation in the electoral process.

FDR got elected four times because he addressed the people's concerns, and then he DELIVERED for the people.

We need candidates who are genuine, sincere and deeply concerned about this country and its people.

When we find them, we need to find a way to help them defeat the MONEY that will be spent trying to defeat them.

Education of the voters on the issues and the voting records of candidates and who is receiving Corporate money. In every state, every college and anywhere we can.

At the bottom of the list of how to get those who have given up back into the process, should be 'BLAMING THE VOTERS' imho.
