Sell your candidate to primary voters, instead of at DU
I don't mean this in a hostile way at all. I presume that a lot of people here are actively involved in working on campaigns for their candidates. If you aren't, maybe you should be. People at DU are relatively well informed, and the process of watching the debates, reading each others posts, and arguing really does have an effect- but its an effect on a relatively small number of people.

If you want your candidate to win, have a house party with 15-20 neighbors (make it a potluck)- invite a few other supporters but mostly undecideds, and present your arguments there. You will accomplish much more than posting here. If you're in a state that doesn't matter- look to see what your candidate's campaign is doing in Iowa right now. I bet they are in need of people to make phone calls, and that can be done from your cell phone to Democrats in Iowa who are undecided.

And they probably won't snark back at you like people here!

1. That would require REAL work and detract from meaningless texting!
