1 / @RubyFishbone , Hi Ruby, this is the "overly polite" #resister on Trump's threads. This is electoral strategy: we have until the 6th to close some gaps. Analyzing the polls, we conclude that this can only be accomplished by penetrating and opening a line of conversation => 2
2 / with social segments that have remained out of our reach up to now. Two examples for TX: "white"+"woman+"Christian". I'm trying everything, even inserting very polite comments on mega-church accounts. Why "very polite"? =>
3 / Quantitative public opinion studies show that one of the chief drivers for undecided people to shift to conservatism is fear. If we use hostile language on their threads, we push them away, instead of pulling them to our side. There is no time left to try anything new.
4 / I participate on the @BetoORourke campaign. Besides donating a little money, the options to help are: phone calls (I can't: hyperacusis), texting and door-to-door. I live in Oklahoma, so the latter makes no sense. I chose a digital strategy based on PoliSci analysis.
