one thing: EXCITE HER BASE. For far too long the left has been afraid to excite the base because the bullies have told them they can't win, that there will be no doners, that no one will listen. That's what the right wants us to do, stay right. Deep down they know that an energized left will sweep the country. Imagine if it was Elizabeth and Bernie running right now. Honestly how many more people would be out knocking on doors proudly?

(68,868 posts)Are there more votes to be won from disaffected Republicans or liberals who need a push to get out to vote?
To put it another way, Clinton has chased the disaffected Republicans and now voter enthusiasm is way down on our side compared to the Trumpers.
Republicans are going to vote Republican, it's what they do, they're authoritarians who always fall in line when November rolls around.
We have to stop chasing those who can't be won over and focus on turning out our people.

(16,846 posts)The majority of Americans are far more liberal than they were in the 1980's and 90's. The more conservative Baby Boomers -- the Fox News viewers -- are dying out. That means the Democrats need to appeal to the more progressive voters in their base and other lefties. Get them energized to go to the polls.
Hillary is going to pick up some conservatives anyway, just because she isn't Donald Trump. She already has those voters. It's high time for her campaign to energize the left, especially the young people.
