Using third world, electioneering, tactics should be stopped, not emulated.
How do you accomplish that without winning elections first ??
In I 1064-2013 I went door-to-door urging people to vote for my candidate. We would discuss the issues, the candidates, the Bears and Bulls and economy. I would go to meetings and do the same. I would do this year round, not just final election weekend.
The alternatives?
Masssive JUNK MAIL
Unbelievable stories in the media
massive ads on TV
Unbelievable stores on TV.
Social media like FR, Twitterk, FB, TicTok.
How is one more or less electioneering than the other?
