Down the ticket is not front and center to the “No Trump, No Vote”. Down the ticket is what voters did in droves in 2014 AND IT MADE ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE. Not voting down the ticket this go’round will only make the party hacks smile. It’s shooting oneself in the foot.
I hate to be a spoiler but “No Trump, No Vote” sounds sweet to the party hacks. They love the sound of that. It will make them smile to see those postcards.
What we have to understand today is the money spigots have turned on in a different room. Now understand the truism that “Money is the Mother’s Milk of Politics” and it’s easy to see that the party hacks and their establishment bosses don’t give a flying flip about voters. If the dems win, they are taken care of just the same because they enabled all of it and the foreign donors reward them for that.
What needs to be done is to out them.
Name names and send postcards that the jig is up.
Put out phone numbers of the hacks as was done to the pussy chair of the GOP in TN just yesterday. Now he needs a new phone number.
Go to their offices, their Churches, their homes and protest. Call them what they are, thieves and liars. Give them no peace! Don’t worry that it will be seen in the wrong light. People are so pissed now that it will bring more support, not less.
Confront any media that are known to lie about the situation. Name their names, personal phone numbers and addresses on social media and encourage confrontation, not violence but uncomfortable confrontation that doesn’t allow them peace. Use these actions as rallying cries to bring in more support. People are pissed, all people right down to little old ladies singing in Church Choirs.
Forget “No Trump. No Vote”. That’s a tactic from a playbook that is no longer relevant because of the changes in money flows brought on my Citizens United. Foreign interests and people who hate traditional America have captured DC through money. We no longer have a representational government. That’s what people have to wake up to.
Propose something concrete to do. Today. That will matter.
Step 1. What is it?
The postcards are a simple Step 1. It’s concrete. It’s simple. It’s something people can do now. Today.
People want to do SOMETHING. But saying “Go to their offices, their Churches, their homes and protest. Call them what they are, thieves and liars. Give them no peace!” sounds good on paper, but it isn’t a concrete call to action that will get anyone off the couch because it’s non-specific.
The postcards are specific action that everyone can do.
Give everyone a counter plan (on a new thread), and people would be happy to do it.
