Discussion: For Apathetic Democrats, Obama Offers Himself As Motivation To Vote

For Apathetic Democrats.

Respectfully, Mr. President, you mean brain dead, navel gazing, slack jawed Democrats the canā€™t take a moment out of their oh-so-important lives to see that the America doesnā€™t get flushed down the toilet.

Post election theyā€™ll bleat, ā€œButā€¦butā€¦but we werenā€™t inspired! Nobody stroked our ego! I voted for Jill Stein becauseā€¦I donno, Hillary wasnā€™t likeable enough! I voted for Johnson because legalizing pot is a very, very, very, very important issue to me! I didnā€™t vote so I could teach the Democrats a lessonā€“put candadates on the ballot that make ME really really like them! What? There was an election this year? I was too busy with fun/work/studying/partying or stuck in my bubble to bother to vote.ā€

How long before all of Dumps black surrogates start to cry foul?

I truly believe that the Clinton campaign should continue to make it an Obama vs Trump narrative instead of Clinton vs Trump.

To be fair, thereā€™s absolutely 2 sides to that coin. As infuriating as Team Unicorn is, in the end it is the candidateā€™s responsibility to give people something to vote for and Iā€™m extremely disappointed in Clintonā€™s messaging team right now. Theyā€™ve been lackluster from the get go other than a couple nice commercials and a few quips here and there. And Trump is feckless enough to do things like skip the debates just to deprive her campaign of attention and an opportunity to draw and highlight the contrasts between them that people need to understand. Iā€™m starting to think heā€™s going to skip them completely, as there is absolutely no advantage to him of bothering with them. Itā€™s all down side from his perspective. Heā€™d essentially be offering himself up as a sacrifice while letting her get spotlight that he could be usurping for himself alone if he just continues to fly solo. Lord knows the MSM will just continue to ignore her if he doesā€¦other than the occasional false equivalence article or blurb about how awful she is and something something Benghazi email Vince Foster.

Iā€™ve been hearing from other people saying just about the same thing. So, youā€™re campaign director for a day; how would you change the messaging? What specifically disappoints you in in her messaging?
