Get angry.
If you address these problems like a kindly old schoolmarm, Sen. Schumer, you wont win over any voters.
When we talk calmly and rationally about horrific outrages, people sense the disconnect and perceive our side as not being genuine, as though we dont believe what we are saying. That makes people less inclined to agree with us.
So...think of all the suffering this decision causes, feel it in your gut, get really pissed off, THEN speak. Righteous anger at these daily moral outrages is contagious.
I realize this plan of raising your voice will lead to accusations of us being unhinged, but have you heard RW talk radio lately?
