In reply to the discussion: I need some help here, DU. Need to have the right words to talk to a NON voter [View all]BigmanPigman
(51,583 posts)19. I was in the same position today in fact with a young woman.
This comes up often with me since I invite it. Today I mentioned pre-existing conditions and healthcare, abortion, immigration, the environment, gun control and climate change. When I said goodbye to her I asked if she was voting in Nov and she said, "Yes, now I am". It turns out she watched the news and didn't know what happened, she thought it was another shooting. She saw my anti-Kavanaugh button and brought the subject up by asking me about it (I made it two weekends ago, it has a red circle and a red slash through his name and a little hanger hanging off of it).
RESISTANCE IS PATRIOTISM!
