In reply to the discussion: The Green Party deserves every last bit of the "bashing" that they are getting here. [View all]Ford_Prefect
(8,230 posts)Has it occurred to you or anyone else that we still live in a Democracy which generally supports freedom of speech and assembly?
Minor parties don't represent their voters' interests?
Political voice in America is only allowed for those selected by the 2 major parties?
The Candidate can only win if no-one else votes against them? What kind of logic is that? How does that work exactly?
GOTV disproved much of this in 2008. Get the G*d D***ed VOTE out and you will win as long as your Candidate has a good positive message.
Go negative and the game is deny the other party voters who didn't really want them in the first place.
More votes are to be found in GOTV strategy, unless the process is flipped as in Florida and Ohio (but that's only CT anyway, right?).
