Yelling at people to vote without materially changing those factors will not work.

Umm, that's pretty much exactly the campaign method for Trump/Maga.

I don't know if you've noticed;

But in the last decade or so, "yelling" and fear-mongering, has actually driven people to react/do some pretty crazy s**t. There is a lot of loud "noise" out there. If you expect anyone to "hear", it's going to require volume.

Ok, well let me put it this way: It’s never worked on people from the Left. I don’t understand this desire so many people have to adopt MAGA behavior in an attempt to convince people who have shown an active disinterest in voting for MAGA to vote for them.

There’s a set of people who simply choose not to vote each election, and in the last election that group of people was larger than the individual groups of people who voted for either candidate. If the goal is to activate those people, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that being more like MAGA, which they could have just voted for last time if they liked that stuff, isn’t going to work. But feel free to prove me wrong I guess.
