Reply #10: walk ins

Right, and just because kerry got walk ins the the bush campaign got none? Wake up man. In 2002 and 2004 the GOP started up a GOTV campaign that now rivals the democratic party. The big democratic advantage used to be turn out because then its GOTV machine would really bring in the votes for the democratic candidates across the nation.

Maybe it is time to accept that the tired ideals of the 60's are not bought into by anyone but aged hippies, actors, and San Francisco. Just like fashion political beliefs wax and wane. The progressive movement is waxing. Progressive ideals will not win elections outside of certain enclaves.

Politics is sales: you are selling your ideas. If those ideas are not "puchased" in an election you can keep trying to bang your head against the wall or you can come out with NEW! IMPROVED! Progressive ideals more palatable to the rest of america.

There is real room for improvement in the governance of this country. Progressive ideas have a place in it. But keep up the crying about vote fraud, secession, and rioting; and you will have no hand in the direction of this country for decades to come.

But if you shake yourself out of this, then you can work on the next election. Come up with the new ideas that will energize voters and get them to vote democratic (or green). Don't just try to sell the same old stuff in a different package. Build a new product.
