Goal: Get the sheeple out to vote.

MoveOn.org discovered people who are inclined to vote Dem are motivated by a need “to fit in”. When they voted in only 2 of the last 5 elections, but their neighbors had voted in 3 of the last 5, that pushed them out the door and to the polls.

They identify people who are likely to vote for D and call them, not to discuss the issues, but to discuss the act of voting, and making plans to vote. social psychology tricks” and “cues to the brain.

This kind of tactic could never work on conservative, independent, Republican, or Libertarian voters. Our DNA does not include the sheeple gene.

are you incapable of posting the links to back up your argument.

And do you not realize that Democrat = Party, not ideology ?

Do you realize using the word "sheeple" to describe humans is "fitting in" with others who no one takes very seriously because they don't use proper English and they don't post links to back up their alleged issues.

For Democrats, the American people — including those who vote for Democrats — are sheep to be sheared, cows to be milked, suckers to be swindled.

Exhibit A is Obamacare.

“OMG, he’s hot! Let’s hope he’s as easy to get as this birth control,” the ad copy reads.

Republicans oppose tax cuts for the middle class, oppose small business tax cuts, oppose low intrest rates on student loans, and oppose giving children healthy school lunches. But republicans never oppose tax cuts for the rich.

Do you mean people or voters when you say "sheeple?" That aside, what do you want? You are upset that MoveOn.org is trying to get people to vote? I believe we should ALL vote regardless of party affiliation. It is a right and an obligation (IMO) to vote!!! The rest of your post is unsubstantiated drivel.

Oh and playing the race card. It might get you to vote but it's not helping you otherwise.

Right-wingers fight tooth and nail for corporations and the 1%. They are the ultimate dupes.
