(34,648 posts)They will come out to vote against the people that seem to hate them and think they are lazy and stupid.
Republicans know they have to convince people to vote for them. Why do Democrats not know this?
Rand Paul is doing OUR outreach that we are too good to do, for us. He went to Ferguson , Hillary did not. He reaches out to the youth and asks them what they want. He goes to Detroit to speak with the Black residents. He wants millenial votes and the Black vote. If we keep treating our own base like useful idiots who should just shut up and vote for us and expect absolutely nothing, they will vote for him. I have young cousins living in the Hood who love Rand Paul because he wants to end the Drug war that has put so many of them, their friends, their relatives, their fathers, their uncles, their husbands, in jail. Our politicians are drug warriors who allow the drug war to assault young people and minorities. And we expect to get their votes without even speaking with them? Rand Paul does sit downs with Blacks and Millenials, we call them lazy and stupid and refuse to be seen with a black president.
