UPDATE: Donald Trump Takes Office as the 47th US President

There are millions of Black and Latino voters that have opted out of politics. 90 million people didn't vote in the last election.

There are votes out there to be had. But they don't think either party gives a shit about them or listens to them. You don't have to appeal to MAGA to increase your vote totals in what are always close elections. We can grow the party.
Appealing to maga was basically a joke. Right-wing leaning people would never vote left. Regardless of what their platform is.

My main point was if those 90 million people are still on the fence about the direction this country is going, what exactly can a Democratic candidate do or say to sway them?

The current regime has effectively wiped their ass with the constitution. And it's affecting everyone's money, health, employment, identity, & sanity. If that's not enough to get you off the couch, what is?

For people that have been poor under Bush, Clinton, Obama, Trump and Biden, you can't blame them for thinking that it's all the same. For people who have never gotten due process, or that feel the Constitution has never done shit for them, maybe a Dem can say, I see you, I hear you. I have empathy for you.

Fuck Trump, I'm not talking about or focusing on him. I'm focusing on YOU to see what I can do to make your life better.

A lot of those people think (and rightfully so) that Dems and Republicans have their own turf battle that doesn't have shit to do with them.

Evangelists go to the poorest parts of towns and the message they put out isn't about theology. It's simple. God...loves..you. Jesus loves you. It's personal. And people are so desperate for help or to feel that someone gives a single fuck about them, they buy it.

I guess I just don't see how throwing our hands up in the air and saying there is nothing we can do helps anyone. And if there really isn't anything we can do, delete this thread and we all need to stop posting about politics.

Democrats are stuck appealing to a wide audience who are fickle. All anyone can do right now is get information out there. If that person who chose the couch, would rather be uninformed & oblivious, they'll continue to feel hopeless & helpless.

If a Democrat goes around promising voters some unrealistic dream, we'll be right back in this shit. Democrats typically play by the rules. So there's checks & balances. And most of the time, we live in an endless cycle of chaos. Democrats spend their time un-fucking republican's fuck ups. And during this period, voters feel they aren't doing enough. Because of short-sightedness. We end up right back in the hands of the idiots that wrecked things.

Are Democrats perfect? Not even close. Are they the best option? Most definitely. Do they have an image problem? Without a doubt. Can they do more to combat this craziness? Absolutely. But they can't grab some undecided or apathetic voter by their head & shove information down their throats. The people in this country who care about their lives beyond "one" issue & who care about this country have to work.

Americans are too damn lazy, with attention spans like goldfish. And the education system has completely failed us on government & how it operates. This thread is a good place for people to dump information for us here. Because the news media either treats this regime with kid gloves or are implicit in their operation. They don't scream loud enough about the things President Executive Order & his minions are doing.
