  • You are aiming too high. Simply getting people to vote is already a lot because our general election turnout is shameful. Beyond that, primary voting turnout is like abysmal, I think 10% or so last I checked.

    Getting primary election turnout up will make the biggest difference in party attitude for the least effort expended.

    Being nit picky and pedantic will just get people to grumble and move on to other things.

    Be short, to the point, and make the effort you are asking for to be so negligible that people will feel compelled to do that much.

    Otherwise you just defeat your own causes by introducing friction that bleeds momentum and energy. Pessimism isn’t effective at galvanizing the left. The left thrives on optimism.
