[Non-AOC] Republican swing state early voting turnout is disturbingly high. TheDaily explained why this morning: hoards of Trump supporters, fueled by belief that the election is being stolen, tricked into volunteering 50-60 hours/week. Please help counter; average volunteer brings in 7-12 votes

The Situation

Much early voting data is really alarming. The republican turnout is disturbingly high.

A few excerpts from Axios

Zoom in: Democrats once felt very good about Nevada, a state Biden won in 2020. But early voting has them panicked. Jon Ralston, the top Nevada election expert, writes that the surge in early rural Republican voting — a "rural tsunami" — is ominous for Harris: "There is no good news in these numbers for Dems."

,

What we're hearing: In a troubling sign for the campaign, top Democrats are already starting to point fingers at who'd be more responsible for a Harris loss — President Biden for dragging his feet, or Harris herself. "Going down?" a top Democratic official texted.

This morning, The Daily podcast may have explained why.

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/28/podcasts/the-daily/trump-campaign-arizona.html

The Trump ground game is on a whole new level this year. Hoards of Trump supporters, fueled by the belief that the election is being stolen, have been tricked into volunteering, in many cases 50-60 hours a week.

The average volunteer brings in 7-12 votes.


History

Historically speaking, it's democrats that have been more dependent on the ground game, and the democratic ground game has roots in women's suffrage movement, civil rights movements, LGBTQ rights movements, ProPalestinian movements, anti-Vietnam war movements, etc. The democratic party has been the party of protests and causes. In times of elections, the democratic party taps into the networks and depends on them for support.

Karl Rove took the ground game to a new level in 2004 though mobilizing the Evangelicals. Then Obama took it to astronomical heights in 2008.

2020 was much more devastating for the democrats than republicans. Many young people get their start in the democratic party through volunteering. There were many promising young leaders that we're missing out on due to covid that year.

AOC got her start by volunteering for Bernie in 2016. Imagine if there was covid that year. We would never have Rep AOC.


The Problem

Due to 2020, dems needed to make up for that this year. Unfortunately, the war in Gaza happened. This year, many of the people with the most empathy of the what's going on in this world, and not working with the democrats, they are protesting against it. All those protests you see? That energy. If it was not for the war, these people would be working with the democratic party to bring down trump.

Here's one article about it.

https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/02/bidens-israel-politics-are-alienating-young-campaign-volunteers/

It's so bad this year that the college democrats had to come out with a statement regarding the how terrible things are looking on the ground, and urged Biden to change course.

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/09/podcasts/inside-the-college-democrats-rebuke-of-biden.html

These was months ago, so many things improved as we are closer to the election. But the protests are still there. People who normally be some of the most important people working with the dems are protesting against them.


The Solution

Volunteer. Get your friends to volunteer. Get your family to volunteer. Get your SO to volunteer. It's fun, it's fulfilling. You get the explore your city. You get to know the most amazing people right in your community.

Many people meet their best friends for lives and significant others. For the 20-somethings, the parties are epic. Many even learn skills that translate to careers. That looks good on a resume, regardless.

Again, The average volunteer brings in 7-12 votes.

Hate both choices in this upcoming presidential election? Appalled by what is happening in Palestine but don't want Trump? Introducing r/BlueProtestVote, a subreddit with a strategy: Deep blue states voting 3rd party to hurt Kamala's popular vote margin, encouraging swing states to vote blue

Hi everyone, I wanted to introduce r/BlueProtestVote. Our aim is to promote a protest third-party vote only in deep blue states while encouraging those in swing states to vote for Kamala Harris. We believe this strategy will make swing-state voters more comfortable supporting Kamala, knowing we're expressing our frustrations through a focused protest vote.

Our goal is to address concerns about Kamala's Gaza policy, which has alienated many left-leaning voters. By offering a protest vote option, we hope to re-engage these voters, increase turnout, and help Democrats win more seats down-ballot.

Why This Strategy Decreases Trump’s Chances of Winning

The misconception that this movement would harm Kamala's chances in swing states is actually false. By focusing on a protest vote only in deep blue states, we could make swing voters more comfortable voting for Kamala, knowing the base's message is clear.

Biden/Kamala's role in controversial actions has led many to vow not to support her. In tight swing states like Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin, small margins matter. All recent data indicates that a weapons embargo would gain significant support among swing voters.

Kamala's lack of effort toward minority and LGBTQ issues is not surprising given her past actions. Still, we shouldn't let her flaws force us into accepting Trump.

Specific Popular Vote Goals

Our goal is to have Kamala win the popular vote by less than 4.9 million votes, which would be the lowest margin for any Democratic candidate in recent history. We have an extended goal of reducing her popular vote margin to less than 2.8 million votes, which is even lower than the margin by which Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in her defeat to Donald Trump in 2016.

Achieving this would send a clear message: while voters acted to prevent a Trump presidency, they're still deeply dissatisfied with the Democratic Party's stance on issues like Gaza. This protest could serve as a mark on Kamala's victory, highlighting that a significant portion of the electorate demands more accountability from the Democratic establishment.

Increasing Turnout for Down-Ballot Democrats

This movement also aims to boost Democratic turnout in local races, the House, and the Senate. Encouraging frustrated voters to cast a protest vote in deep blue states increases the chances they'll support Democratic candidates down-ballot. This turnout is vital, as losing seats in states like New York last cycle cost Democrats control of the House. If New York had maintained its margins, Democrats would still control the House.

Where to Cast a Protest Vote

Here are the deep blue states where we encourage people to consider a third-party protest vote:

  • District of Columbia
  • Massachusetts
  • Hawaii
  • Vermont
  • Maryland
  • California
  • Rhode Island
  • New York
  • Delaware
  • Illinois
  • Washington
  • Connecticut
  • New Jersey
  • Oregon

Where to Vote for Kamala

In states with narrower margins, like Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Nebraska's 2nd District, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Maine, and Virginia, we urge you to vote for Kamala to prevent any chance of a Trump comeback.

Why This Strategy Works

This movement isn't about leaving the Democratic Party; it's about pushing it to align with its base. A protest vote that lowers Kamala's popular vote without affecting her electoral count sends a clear demand for accountability. It also helps swing-state voters feel more comfortable supporting Kamala, knowing her base is already holding her accountable.

Join Us!

If you're interested in learning more or helping shape this strategy, visit our subreddit r/BlueProtestVote. We have active discussions and would love your input. If you'd like to help with moderation, please send us a modmail—no experience needed!

Let’s work together to send a message to the Democratic Party, keep Trump out of power, and support Democrats down the ballot!
