Speaking of physical vs virtual…. I randomly noticed a substack thread of Dem campaigners. They’re tired and discouraged because nobody will listen. They’re mainly worried that Trump will implement Project 2025 which is a world-ending apocalypse in their minds.
Phone banks are simply useless, but door-to-door CAN bring results if you’re clearly offering something that people want and understand.
Real people don’t even KNOW what Project 2025 is. It’s a mythical threat that exists only in the minds of Dem activists. I read some of its documents, and it’s not a project or an agenda. It’s just a tired repetition of 1980 Reagan themes like abolishing the Education Department. Every Repoof has promised to take these steps, which WOULD NOT CHANGE ANYTHING AT ALL if implemented. No Repoof has ever kept the promise.
If you want people to listen to a sales pitch, you have to start with an easily defined problem and show that your product has ALREADY helped to solve the problem.
The Biden admin has taken real steps to solve some of our worst problems in the area of Tech monopolies and stock crimes. These actions are bringing real results already, as corporations are slowing down their predatory destruction of small business. Less predation and monopoly means less inflation and more room for real business. The admin has also been clamping down on predatory landlords, another immediate and serious problem. The obvious sales pitch: “Here’s what we’ve done. If you want more, vote Dem. Trump will stop all of these efforts.” Trump has explicitly promised to fire Lina Khan, and he IS a predatory landlord by profession. That’s how he made his money.
Unfortunately the activists on “both” “sides” are stark raving mad and incapable of normal persuasion, so it would be better for the humans and the country if “both” “sides” just shut the fuck up.
