I’m not a political pundit. But one thing I do believe I know is people. To get people out to vote in your favor you must connect with them on a personal level, inspire them, and make them believe that in fact they have the ability to make their community a better place.
Speaking about issues is one thjng. Speaking about those issues on a personal level where people see themselves is another. Barack Obama was able to impact people with three words, “Yes WE can.” People believed in something bigger than themselves.
People in Kentucky started to believe damn maybe we can have clean drinking water. Maybe we can have a livable wage. Maybe we can have affordable healthcare for all. Maybe we can live in a state that isn’t so divided. @Booker4KY inspired people to believe anything was possible.
That is what wins elections- tapping into the emotion of the voters. Trump did this well so it works for good or for evil. Having a candidate that inspires NO ONE doesn’t win elections. Dislike for Mitch isn’t even enough because you will not sway those that would vote for him.
I wish we would get this. Voting is often beyond the issues. It’s fueled by emotions. Thank you, @Booker4KY for making many in this state believe that we can be better. I know we can. And one day I pray Kentucky steps into its greatness.
