I know there may not be that many of them out there, but I’m still going to try here and on a bunch of sites I frequent.
I’m looking for someone who voted for Obama in 2008 or 2012, then voted for Trump.
Especially if you’re from one of the rust belt states, or Florida, but not needed.
After this election, I want to talk and pick your brain a bit. This election made your voice heard, but there’s more to it than that. I think the repudiation of both the DNC and the RNC is something we can build on.
As you probably already know, I’m quite liberal. So only if you want to talk.
Not sure any other way to find you except by asking. So that’s what this thread is about.
I doubt that I can get him to participate in an exchange, but I do have a friend who is a member of a minority group, a business-owner, and a voter who voted for Obama twice and then Trump this year. His only comments to me have been that he would not have voted for HRC under ANY circumstances, so that might not make him a good choice.
It might be prudent to add that he and his wife are very religious.
No, it sounds like he’d be in the right range that I’m looking for. But, he’s probably busy. If he’s not, and wants to talk politics, I’d like to pick his brain.
Basically, if I’m going to be part of a grassroots effort, it helps me a lot to know the minds of the kind of voter who would be willing to vote Democratic, but find out the kinds of things the DNC did to lose his vote.
I can think of a lot of things off the top of my head, because I have long opposed the establishment of the Democratic party. But, I’d be interested to hear his take.
If there’s any chance of redeeming the Democrats, it’s worth knowing what it would take to actually earn someone’s vote instead of assuming they have it.
I’ll ask questions and sit and listen carefully. I won’t in any way ask him to change his vote in the future, or ask him for any kind of donation, or anything of that nature. Purely a research interview. Doesn’t have to give a name or location.
I’d be using that information to inform people who want to change the Democratic party what kind of feedback I’m getting, and what people’s priorities are.
This information would be used to make his voice heard and considered going forward, as opposed to ignored.
I may or may not find out what I want to find out, but it does not hurt to ask. You can link him to this post and if he’s not interested, it’s totally fine. It would be asking him to donate his time and sit and talk for a bit. Skype or email or whatever works for me.
