Thanks for posting that. I keep saying that people need to stop grousing and blaming other people and do more themselves. Being a poll worker or a poll watcher, doing GOTV calls, walking around placing door hangers or distributing yard signs, and, first, working for your favored primary candidate - all these things would make a big difference.
Some of the activities are very stressful and even dangerous. Being a poll watcher will get you a legal letter from the Dems threatening you with arrest, will get the Dem poll watchers challenging you or surrounding you, and it will require the courage to go up and complain about irregularities.
But people would rather gripe and blame others and expect it to be magically fixed. I saw that many of the people interviewed at the MAGA rally hadn’t even voted - huh?
Finally, everybody unregistering from the GOP just means they’ve given in to the Dems, since many of the activities (like poll watching) can only be done if you’re a registered member of the party. The Dems are clapping their hands together with glee at so many conservatives cutting themselves out of the political process.
Thanks for the reply. I have been sort of following this since 2010—the number of vacancies has always been right at 50%.
A party without a strong foundation is going to have a hard time—if just the vacancies were filled, the conservatives would be 75% and then could really start to get rid of rinos.
And that wouldn’t be near as stressful as poll watcher-for those who are “shy” about confrontation.
