DUers - do any other DUers ever change your mind?

Look at all these 1000's of posts declaring the wisdom of our choice, or the folly of some one else's - ALL THIS ENERGY directed into a debate among....the good guys! In the end, how many of you actually think YOU can change the mind of other DUers?

I mean, as a lot - we are pretty damn independent thinkers! You don't want me or him or her telling ya how to think!

And even if we manage to wrestle a few folks away from their candidate; how many ya figure that would be? A handful of progressives switch from A to B or maybe C? Not too many in the BIG picture. Again, your trying to convince someone on the same team! In fact, so am I!

What we really need to be doing is find another venue where all this convincing wisdom could really effect the General Election. Is there a place called Independent Underground, or Sitting on the Fence Underground - how the heck do we reach those people? They don't live in the blogosphere the way we do.

I just find it kinda silly we spend so much time shouting to people that GET IT - when we should be posting all this good sense for people who don't! Of course, silly is as silly does and look at what I'm doing right now....




peace~ :)
