Ehh... you can make a fence sitter into a Democrat, sure, but I really don't think you can convince anyone still willing to call themselves a Republican in 2023 to do more than stay home on election day.
Staying home might be enough though, no?
Yes, which is why I was making a rebuttal to the guy saying we should be going the extra mile trying to convince them to vote dem, rather than just stay home. It's wasted effort better spent trying to convince another one of them to stay home, or an actual fence sitter to vote dem.
Yeah, you don't win by convincing the other side to vote for you. You win by inspiring your voters to vote.
Or by convincing the other side not to bother voting...
Exactly. At most 2/3 or eligible citizens vote. The biggest available voting bloc is the apathetic.
