(37,573 posts)then the board should be prepared to persuade people to vote for Democrats.
As for "the List", it should be derided if the best people can do is repeat somebody else's canned list. How about putting it into your own words?
The OP is from Missouri - the "Show Me" state. Thus, if you say that Obama has been a good President, the Missourian will say "show me" instead of just automatically believing it because you say so. If, for example, he was looking for a reason to vote Jay Nixon for Governor, I would respond, first, with sympathy, because I think Nixon sucks. He's a Democrat, but he still sucks. He is from the DINO wing of the Democratic Party. But there are still plenty of good solide reasons to vote AGAINST Dave Spence http://www.democraticunderground.com/1061299
Yes, I am saying that it is better to engage people you disagree with. To provide them with some facts and logic and hope and to try to change their minds. That just wanting people to shut up and go away is no way to relate to your fellow humans. It is no way to help elect Democrats.
That for some people, they will be motivated to help if they get the sincere message that "yes, Obama sucks, but it is still important to defeat Romney".
