Those people will not be convinced otherwise by the Democrats
No matter what the Dems say, in their minds, Democrats = Liberals = Godless, man on man fukking, dog fukking, gun taking, psycho snowflakes who hate America.
at one time I would agree with you. I'm not saying you can convert everyone but healthcare really is something the democrats can take a higher ground on and win I believe.
It's one thing to be a libertarian dikkhead who just read Ayn Rand in college or high school who can in the abstract, view government in all forms as being oppressive and you can flirt intellectually with the idea of some anarchro capitalist paradise where the federal government disappears.
On the other hand, the most reliable voters who are usually older, all consist of people who know someone close to them or they themselves who have some sort of medical problem. This is an issue that touches every person at some point in time.
I've observered when people talk to a lot of these people and clearly outline what is cut, what the specific danger of this bill is, and also address their concerns such as rising premiums you get people to listen. Does that mean that All of them will vote differently? No. But you slowly move the public consciousness into a new paradigm over time if you keep hammering these things over and over again.
Democrats are terrible at doing this. They just are.
Bernie sanders town halls on this matter on the other hand really convinced me that is the the way forward in talking to some people. You also have to put up someone they are willing to take a chance on voting for.
