Whites, not conservatives. Conservatives are a decided minority of the country, and even if they all showed up, they can’t win the election.

We need to get the moderates to care, and in the end, for whatever reason, they didn’t seem to care that much.

Meanwhile, half the voting age population doesn’t bother. That’s a pool of over a hundred million people, most of whom could care less about ANYTHING we are talking about — that’s why they are unregistered.

The democrats have learned that among that large group, it’s pretty easy to find a few million who can be swayed to vote because of some really stupid, trivial cause, like “preotecting our birth control”. And if you make it easy enough for these lazy people, like coming to their house, registering them, bringing them an absentee ballot, and then taking it from them, these people WILL vote. Or if you give them some free food and a bus ride on election day, something you can afford to do if you are in an inner city with large apathetic populations.

So that’s what they do. If the media ridiculed them enough for their lies, calling on people to vote like it’s sex would hurt them with the caring part of the population, but the media protects them. If a republican tried to target a subgroup of apathetic people with a call to protect them from affirmative action (a call which would easily gets us 2 million extra white votes), the media would be non-stop recriminations, and it would be a wash.

That’s where the media comes in. It prevents Republicans from doing any sort of crass micro-targetting, while giving democrats cover. The media doesn’t even REPORT what is said in spanish language advertising, and doesn’t report what leftist radio people are saying.

Plus, it tends to be true that conservatives are already motivated, so the unregistered tend to be more liberal. There is truth to the idea that conservatives would want to suppress the vote — the smaller the electorate, the better we do, because you eliminate the idiots who would vote for someone because they’d get free pizza.

This is absolutely true and needs to be in the forefront of people's minds when they consider what went wrong and how to counter it. The problem, however, is that white people--particularly traditionalists--tend to be too polite and have a "play by the rules no matter what and humbly accept the results" attitude, even when the deck is stacked against them. Also, everyone is terrified of being seen as racist, and will meekly submit themselves to almost any ignobility to avoid the accusation. That's a mass psychosis that needs to be dealt with like a child's night time fear of the boogyman before we can make meaningful progress.
