      I realize this is bleak but the passivity needs to go. Things to do: 1) Make it VERY clear what SCOTUS just did to hurt average people 2) Win messaging battle by repeating shit GOP pulled 2) Shut Senate down 3) Make it very clear moderates will be responsible for what is to come

      Have you told a low information voter that the GOP dominated SCOTUS just voted to make public schools crappier (by devastating public unions)? Make sure you know how to explain that.

          Have you told low information voters how the GOP dominated SCOTUS just let Trump decide who can be an American? Make sure you know how to explain that.

          Tweets like this make me think that you don't talk to many low information voters. They don't respond to things the way you think they will (mostly cause of the "low information" thing)

          Maybe you're not speaking to them in a way that makes sense?

          Did the statement I just wrote not "make sense" to you? That's how I talk.

          Well, it told me that you make assumptions about what people know and experience and based on those assumptions talk down to them. So ... maybe that's precisely the problem?

          Sounds like you're doing the same to me right now. Cool talk. Fun to fix democracy with people who treat me like ass.

          And when you do, make sure to mention that the worse public schools get, the more private schools can charge - especially for those middle class parents who send their kiddies to Christian schools not affiliated directly with a church.

          Problem: low info voters don't associate public sector unions with good teaching....

          And teacher’s unions have made public schools better? Are you sure you want to go there?

          The schools can't fire bad teachers. No madame, this is a good thing.

          I had a teacher in high school who choked out a student two years prior to when I transferred there. I knew people who witnessed it. He was placed on paid leave for the rest of the year by t couldn’t be fired because of the teachers union.

          I've worked w/ public schools. Most were crappy even before this Sup. Ct. Decision. A lot of the problem is the exploding cost of benefits coupled w/ systems larded w/ overpaid administrators. They also wind up paying sh*tloads of $$$ for litigation that is avoidable.
