New analysis suggests Fox News is working, shifting votes to R column
- throwaway4445xx 9y agoThe other possibility here is Democrats aren't connecting with ordinary people. Party registration and fundraising are terrible. Independents are up by a lot. FOX, is putting positive messages out there, from the GOP favorable voter point of view. Clinton is out there beginning a "her side of the story" tour, Sanders is beginning a "lets do health care right" tour, the party is shitting on Sanders, most popular politician there is, and it's not getting behind the ideas that enjoy majority support. I would suggest the left isn't doing what it takes to attract voters. When it does, this whole discussion will change. One area it will change is related to the "not currently interested" column. There are a lot of people checked out, not voting, turned completely off politics. Of all the stuff we've seen, Sanders and platform holds the most potential to bring those people in, as well as maximize the vote for the left. Votes are garnered, not owned, traded, etc... Whoever does the work to get voter appeal will get a lot of votes. The left is divided right now, many rank and file wanting to do, and doing that work. The party leadership does not appear interested in doing that at present.
