80. do you know anything at all about electoral politics?
or do you just come here for self-satisfaction?

Think, honestly, for just a minute.

If we are to reach out to these people and get them to vote for us, we have to offer them something that they want and that they aren't already getting.

Our best angle is fair economic policies and social reforms such as single-payer healthcare (as an example). But they don't want this. They have been offered these before, and they reject it time and time again. They vote their "religion" over their best interests every time.

So, in order to get their votes, we have to throw them a bone, right?

But what do they want?


Well, lets see...

They want to

outlaw abortion of any kind
end stem cell research
put the Ten Commandments in courtrooms and in the Constitution
make Christiantiy the offical religion
put religion in government
bring back prayer in schools.



Need I go on?

So, which of these platforms are you going to adopt in order to reach out to these people and win their vote?
