Yep - we need for folks willing to do more than bitch about what ain’t getting done by getting off their cheap and lazy arses and investing of themselves...unfortunately, even FR is saturated with lazy/feckless/welfare-minded fatalists who refuse to do anything until the victory has already been won - then they will bask in the ease created by others to save their worthless asses...

"Yep - we need for folks willing to do more than bitch about what ain’t getting done by getting off their cheap and lazy arses and investing of themselves"

We had a family friend (single mom) who went to work after lots of years. She was in admin with a liquor distributor and was thrilled about Obama care when it was publicized as something wonderful. Her kids were 18, 16 and 13.

Within two years she was paying just over $500 a month and her deductible was $8,500 a year which meant she paid cash for everything. I worked on her without getting in fights by simply addressing all the crap she was hearing at work from the teamsters.

Eventually I got her to register and vote for the first time in her life in 2016. Like a new diet or new love, she talked enthusiastically about what she had done and became a constant Trump supporter and defender. She has convinced her kids (now 27, 25 and 22) to do the same.

So I am, in a way, responsible for what seems like four new voters, but what if she and the kids are enthusiastically working on others?
