    We should be building those systems regardless. Also, dont accept defeat so easily. Find the moderates and fence sitters in your area. Talk to them. Show them the expert opinions, how closely Trump is mimicking dictator rhetoric and behavior. We beat him once, and we can do it again. But not if we just let the Democrats do their thing. We have to push this ourselves to the hand sitters. Also, if you can get even 1 no vote to change to Biden thats a victory.

      Reminds me of “The Persuaders.” Great book. This comes from a Guardian review on it:

      By far the most fascinating and potentially useful case study is that of Anat Shenker-Osorio, the communications strategist for progressive causes, whose tactics, pegged to the data, have exposed a lot of shortfalls in leftwing political campaigning. Shenker-Osorio points out that when people get frightened, they skew right; when they feel compassion and common cause with their fellow humans, they skew left.
