135. Clap harder. Louder. Faster. 🧚‍♀️

GOTV efforts will benefit Democrats better than "convert a MAGA" and other cult deprogramming efforts. Clearly it's best to put the limited resources where they will make the biggest difference. It's a waste of time to try and "fix" or "save" them. Let's just go for the low hanging easy to reach fruit. For the time and cost of saving one MAGA voter, we could easily get dozens to outnumber him.

But, you do you... I trust that the DNC will make wiser choices and pursue more effective strategies.
