an operation to go into every neighborhood across the country and pay for picture IDs for every person who doesn't have one, and register them to vote, if not already registered, and then bus them to their precinct polling stations on Election Day.

(4,267 posts)They need to TRY to keep up with Cambridge Analytica (and all other GOP analytics companies).
They need a counter social media propaganda operation as well.
It's hard to motivate someone who's been bombarded by fake news ad demonizing a candidate to go vote for that candidate. I'm afraid the Gop/alt-right is waaaaay ahead of the Dems in analytics and social media. And then you add the Russians to the mix.....

(4,267 posts)more like playing smart by using the tools that are available and creating new ones.
Don't know where I read it yesterday, but some republican guy saw his Cambridge Analityca profile and was amazed as to how much they knew about him "somehow". And how accurate it was. Voting tendencies, preferences, issues.
As far as playing dirty, I hope Dems do grow a spine and TRY, just TRY to outsmart the gop/alt-right. If it involves playing dirty, I really wouldn't have a problem with that as long as we cover all the other bases.
