(144,554 posts)There is a long game and that game is demographics. And the people you are chasing are going to slowly be extinct in the next couple decades and that fear of annihilation is coming to a head.
I understand how the electoral college works and people have posted over and over and over in thread after thread that the "flipped" states (like mine) were only "flipped" by less than 1% of the vote - e.g., here in PA, by about 70,000 votes, which were distributed across the state out of 6,000,000 votes.
You did dismiss as a "spike" in voting, a demographic that has been increasing faster than the one you chase and who are in other states outside of California like say... Texas? Yet you are apparently not attributing this increase of voters to platform ideas that are relevant to that demographic.
All of the arguments from the JPR crowd such as what you are professing, continue to dismiss voter suppression in areas where solid Democrats reside and attribute things to "messaging" that have nothing to do with "messaging" and everything to do with white privilege and a last gasp from people who have been brainwashed to believe that their "problem" is "immigrants and minorities who have taken their jobs". They look around their all-white communities now running rampant with opioid addiction yet see on teevee that POC "grifters" are at fault and are the drug-dealers and criminals, because that is how they have been programmed to think.
I have been posting ad nauseum that the Democratic wealthy need to get up off their $$$ and BUY AM radio stations (when they become available) located in those rural areas that have no cell or TV access so that we can get them programmed with our message... the one that they don't "hear" because they "hear" nothing but RW bullshit on their radios.
