1% propaganda. They are greedy and will not go easily into the Night - they will drag the rest of us with them if they can - they are all Sociopaths.

Until we recognize that groups like TLP and Midas Touch are showing us the way to win EMOTIONS not just minds, we will continue to struggle with just appealing to peeps ' intellectual' side, as it seems most Democratic campaigns try to do...until the Rethugs scare the indies then the cycle of negative and ineffective response ads begin...

Study the past election cycles and you will SEE this.

We Dems have a really good chance here - TFG and the Hate Party appeal to all the really EVIL emotions, the crazy ones.

The old effectively cold calculating GOP ad strategists ARE NOW ON OUR SIDE.

We need to make use of their talents while we can.

EMOTIONS WIN ELECTIONS.

GOTV WINS ELECTIONS.

So when doing GOTV, go for their emotions, their hearts, not just their minds.

Roevember does this. 1/6 Hearings do this. Public distaste of TFG's maniacal misogynistic racist speeches play to this. MTG's and Boebert's moronic rants play to this. Disgust of QANON plays to this. Neo-Nazism plays to this. BLM plays to this - (yes, it really does help Democrats emotionally).

We Democrats know how to win. We have the issues on our side to win.

We just need to get out there and work hard to have the largest Midterm Cycle turnout EVAH and WE THE PEOPLE will save the Constitution.

Easy Peasy.
