If 100 million didnt vote in 2020, did NOT see a reason to, BELEIVE it or not

[Eliot Rosewater]

What RADICAL things can be done to get them to vote this time? 2022?

I have the one idea of using the F word on MTP to get it to go viral, discussing the fascists trying to take over America, so that some of that 100 million see it on YT when it goes viral, but I have another idea.

Are there people who would OTHERWISE vote Democratic who wont vote but would vote if they saw someone that looks MORE LIKE THEM in the WH someday?

What do you think?

1. There are a lot of people who dont care about politics

Don't care who is elected
Live their whole life not knowing or caring.

AMAZING

2. There has to be a button we can push to MAKE them care, has to be!

Not all of them, but many, right?

3. Maybe knock on their door and ask them nicely?

4. Might work...but what BUTTON are we pushing of theirs when we ask them to make them care?

9. I tell them, only democrats care about your children having food, shelter, healthcare and an

Education

Then I listen and explain whatever they have questions about

I never fight with them or call them names

As a bonus I have pretty good relationships with most my neighbors

6. That's actually proven to be pretty successful

Statistically more effective than mailers or tv commercials.

As long as the canvasser is an effective communicator of the candidate’s values and agenda, it’s definitely something campaigns should devote resources to.

7. I definitely have had good luck in my precinct

5. When the SCOTUS Roe decision was handed down

I was in line at a local store. I made a remark about Roe being reversed and the 2 clerks standing there, 20-somethings, looked at me with blank expressions. Neither one had ever heard of Roe or what the consequences were of its repeal. They seemed to get riled up that it happened but who knows...

I told them to PLEASE read up and REGISTER TO VOTE. OP is right, we need to grab their attention.

12. Great post! Those 2 folks represent MILLIONS of potential voters who have NO CLUE

about most of this stuff.

We have to push a button, using YT, because they DONT watch TV!

8. People feel powerless to change anything, and they don't want to be bothered to even

select the lesser of two evils. And then, there are just a lot of lazy bums who won't do anything that they don't "have" to do.

We just hope that it is more "them" than "us."

13. Referring to our choices as "lesser of two evils" is a big part of the problem.

If you are saying that this is how they look at it, fine, some do.

10. Recommended.

Important topic.

Perhaps a significant number of them did not, because they do not see the connection between politics and their daily lives. I understand why the republican party is fine with that. But I think the Democratic Party could and should do a much better job at helping this group understand the connection. And I think that is everyone in the party's job, from the grass roots to the White House.

11. In my opinion...

It doesn't really matter if they look like them.

They just don't have to look like the ones now in power.

The biggest shock to the political system that could happen is if all the leadership was asked to step down or resign, just as the PM in Britain did today.

That would do more good to the body politic as a whole than any other act, in my humble opinion.

When it gets to the point that a large part of the voting public despises your Party more than a Party of criminals and traitors to our Constitution, then you have a serious problem.

It may sound insane, but nothing could make voters to look inward than to see the people they despise surrender their positions of power. It would signal that there is a "new" Party.

Maybe, just maybe, they might think they could use a few changes themselves?

I understand that no one, no one, agrees with this comment.
