People are receptive to our ideas. Getting them to listen is the trick. It also takes knowing what you believe and paying attention.
Its easy to rant about throwing the bums out...not a dime’s worth of difference...blah, blah, blah. That takes no skill or intelligence - a VERY LAZY way of thinking, in my opinion. Convincing others is hard, but that is how you build a political movement.
