2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton opposes breaking up the megabanks, opposes reinstating Glass-Steagall [View all]nightscanner59
(802 posts)We certainly cannot rely on national media outlets to do so, but a flurry of expose's critically timed just before the 2016 elections could turn a lot of heads. Suggestions: video the front and back employee entrances of Trump's hotels right when the border patrol pulls up. Laughter and lunacy like this would not fail to produce attention that reaches young hearts and minds.
I hope the new host of The Daily Show will have the gravitas of irony Jon's been so adept at conveying all along.
Young folks aren't going to pay attention to blah statistics and tend to be so put off by the hypocrisy of politicians that many lump them all into the same box, convinced by the rhetoric that voting does no good.
My late boomer/gen-x viewpoints just don't reach the Y and millennials well. I'm tuned out the moment I mention practically anything polly tickle.
Lately I'm looking for RW venues to insert seeds of dissent. I've been kicked out of some for telling truth to their rhetoric, calmly and factually. The heads there explode with namecalling, blocking and nonsense. I don't do it to change the minds of the entrenched, that's futile. But children do listen, and do pick up on who is calmly explaining, and who is having the tantrums.
As to Hillary, that does it, I'm done with her. Even if limited success at Bernie's plans, He'll get the conversation going.
