"We started testing different methods of communicating. And the thing that worked the most was finding real Republicans to say: Look, I’ve been a Republican my whole life, but I’m not voting for Donald Trump. And I’m going to vote for Joe Biden for X, Y, Z reasons."
I could also post from vote vets , Midastouch, etc.
I target certain groups. I'm a Vietnam veteran, have been in a DNC discussion group since 2020. "Not suckers or losers" repeated daily seems to work on veterans who voted twice for Trump.
I'm also working on a project to get SSI recipients to support dems. Many are registered R. Looking to organize folks who advocate for SSI recipients. Republicans want to kill it but ironically some are MAGATS who metaphorically slit their own throats at the polls. Voted for Trump X 2. Lawyers, medical providers, social workers, care givers have to be influential in their lives and can flip some of them.
But our best and most time saving, least stressful, and cost productive activity is to register Democrats -- save the world.
Do you recall Joe Biden‘s first state of the union address when he talked about how he was protecting Social Security and he wanted Americans to know that nobody would take it away from them? I’m sort of paraphrasing and I’ll have to go back and listen to the entire speech. But it was beautiful the way he was able to get every single Republican standing clapping along with every single Democrat. If there could be a way to extract that section of the state of the union as the camera the audience, I could see every single one of the Republican members of Congress standing and applauding for a very long time in agreement with President Biden. They are reversing that position. I wonder if there is a way we could do a short piece of that on the video along with Trump saying he will take their Social Security away. Or is that too much of a job? I think it would be very powerful if that kind of information were used as a tool against Trump. Just my two cents, but I’ve often thought about how the Republicans in Congress continue to support a man who is navigating what they publicly agreed to. And he think that all Americans have forgotten that night and that speech where they all stood? I thought it was quite powerful and a huge gotcha from Biden. Wonder why he’s not using this in his campaign.
Biden's position is laid out in DNC REACH. I'm sure that send it out, but it's up to the media to play it. You can go there, send it as a press release to media outlets AND send it to many social media sources.

Woot - thank you. You are incredibly helpful with all of these sources. I write (mostly just responses) too much on this Substack and I’m sure there’s going to be a couple of amens to that. It is draining, and also draining to engage with folks on other substack writers who claim that Biden can abrogate treaties and that we will never see a two State solution for Gaza independent of Israel and Hamas. Disheartening. I joined a Democrat group to write postcards, and that has been a joy to do something and positive. Being on this, Substack is completely informative and positive as well. But I don’t get news from mainstream or cable, all print sources, Including international (I take a look at a YouTube when there is a particular event, or WH live C-SPAN such as the state of the union or PM Kishida and Yuko’s state dinner and visit - so at times I chime in here with some detail. Indeed, I will send the SOTU info as a reminder to DNC REACH. Thank you again - I have spent most of my ‘other professional life’ in a university and in league of women voter positions (so I’ve been apolitical by training), and I haven’t had these Democrat organizational links. Final note: opposing Trump is neither Democrat nor republican: it’s a moral ethical response to the greatest threat to the world in 2024., Many thanks, V
(I also watch George Conway from time to time on YouTube since I don’t have television by choice. And I really enjoy his take on Trump, but he seems to always be so certain that. SCOTUS will do something legal and logical such as find that Donald Trump has no immunity for his alleged criminality in office. Now he’s saying the jury in New York will have no problem finding Trump guilty of election interference. That is entirely logical to me would be a correct assessment, but I guess there’s no accounting for human decisions in court rooms. The only thing I can be sure of is that I feel I’m making a difference when I write my postcards. And I’m sure that Joe Biden will be reelected. ps:
Sorry this is long but the one thing I did learn from my exhausting tête à tête with the guy on Robert Reich’s substack was that October 7 is Putin’s birthday and he believes the Hamas attack on Israel was Iran’s birthday present to Putin. And he said he learned from me that Putin, Netanyahu, and Trump are a three headed snake: one breathes out and the other breathes in. How could anyone have ever missed that? And the fact that both Putin and Netanyahu want the Gaza war to continue as long as possible, to damage Biden - knowing full well his hands are tied by treaties. They are heartless. Israel is in constant danger, the innocent residents of Palestine and Netanyahu does not care. (The other two members of the three headed snake are supporting him. And he and Putin are counting on Trump‘s election).
I am joining fieldtea6org. It resonates as so authentic - and from the minute I looked at the website and saw 'we've added Florida.' Those poor people need our support more than anyone knows. DeSantis, and Trump roosting there. I am not living in any of the blue highlighted states, but will support where I am needed.
Thank you Patt. I watch Sarah with George Conway this morning - on a YouTube. George explained very clearly how Hope Hick's testimony nailed that Trump knew full well that the payoff was to save his campaign. Now let's hope the jury remembers and that it fully resonated with them. The prosecution has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he knew the money was being paid for a campaign benefit, and it was not reported. The law says one in a campaign needs to report that stuff.
Thank you for shaing the "Republican Voters Against Trump" site! Jan. 6 and "how he behaves/how he treats people" seem to really resonate in these testimonials.
What a great site!! I read some of the testimonials and it gives me hope! A lot of what these people are saying is not that it is not politics or conservatism, its just plain illegal!!
Does the “Trump hates dogs” work better than “he tore breastfeeding babies away from their asylum seeking mothers?” Or “child bearing aged women are dying because of his push for harsh anti-abortion laws?” Curious about where people draw their line in the sand and why.
So I get, though am loathe to say it, that nonwhites seeking asylum are lower than dogs to them, but women dying from lack of healthcare due to extreme abortion bans will effect their own family in the not too distant future
Those people don’t read!
Visceral. That's why "Trump hates dogs" and "Trump stole from kids with cancer" work.

Thanks for your work. In AZ, CEBV, (Citizen Engagement Beyond Voting) has lots of positive things going on too.

IMHO It does because most of his cult want to hurt the "other."
That's the point. Stay away from real issues.
