(14,733 posts)I talk up the accomplishments of good politicians like my Senator Sherrod Brown to rl world (offline) folks any chance I get. Which is why I appreciate it when Democratic politicians actually do useful and good things for me to talk about. I work on friends and neighbours, slowly moving them left any chance I get. When I have money, I donate to candidates I know will continue to do things that cast a good light on the political left. Hence my recent donation to Bernie Sanders. I've gone door to door in the past, during regular GOTV, but I feel that's often far too late. You need to inspire people early and keep them inspired with candidates who promise to help them, and then keep their promises once elected.
It doesn't mean doing GOTV for people I think will only tarnish the Party image.
