I've noticed both sides arguments have been most effective in convincing leftists to not vote.
But the right doesn't seem to be affected by it and comes out to vote consistently no matter what.
Leftists are broadly far more about principle than power.
The right is about power more than principles.
Unfortunately we still live in a world where power precedes principle, and this is why the left is broadly losing ground. Even as we enter an age where everyone's voices, everyone's principles can be shared, debated and argued and we can dance through the virtual social spaces talking about right and wrong...
The right is actively out there with guns and American flags courting the country's breadbasket of liberal, middle-class working schlubs who just want to feel protected so they can buy new toys and live in suburbs.
If we want change, we have to embrace power, not just excuses and rationalization.
Aye. Funny, that.
