Democrats Reaching Out To Moderate Republicans A Dead End. There Aren't Any Mod. Republicans.

[TheMastersNemesis]

Democrats who think you can reach out to moderate? Republicans are snorting acid or something. Makes no sense and infuriating. Where is the fight? Where is the beef?

There are no moderate Republicans. Such an idea is a fantasy and foolish.

1. The only Republicans left are either idiots or opportunists

2. Don't waste the time and energy

These repukes are so far gone they are lost forever.

The Democratic Party should focus on getting people registered, ID’s and to voting booths on Election Day. Have car pools to drive housebound people to the polls or help them get absentee ballots. Early vote and take off Election Day and plan on spending time to vote In those blood red Areas that have less voting machines. Get folding chairs and provide water to those in long lines. A month before the election we should go to courts to demand more voting places and paper ballots.

My idea is to have a people’s vote, where right after you vote in the official voting booth you go to a people’s voting booth and vote again with paper and then later that night count the votes and compare them to the actual results. One could use the last 4 digits of their ss# number to verify they are a real person. We need to do this in elections for the house and senate. Those are the one Russian is going to try to change.

3. I agree

The quiet ones are wrapped in their bibles so tight that none of trumps sins permeate the barrier. They are convinced that no matter what he does, it is serving the(ir) greater good. That’s why none of this matters. They’ve already sold their souls to the devil to achieve their agenda. There is no low too low.

4. There are moderate conservatives, however.

More and more of them have been slipping away from the Republican Party and calling themselves independents instead. Those polls that report 90% approval of Trump are polling registered Republicans. Independent conservative support is far, far lower. And it's growing.

Getting them to actually vote Democrat is a huge further step, of course. For those few who do, it's not going to be from admiration of a liberalism they simply are not wired to share but because Trump horrified them into fighting him that way and because we do share a lot more common ground than is normally spoken of.
