What kind of strategy would you suggest?
Nothing really to do except try to convince as many of my acquaintances and relatives to vote for someone else.... if they care to vote at all.... Even MANY gun people don't care to vote and don't care to be involved with the protection of 2A. This is why this is so frustrating... I get out when I can, and do what I can.
I don't know of any strategy that could turn around a result like the last senatorial election: 63% Democrat, 37% Republican... and the Republican outspent the Democrat. I was hoping maybe you had some magical wand or something else I hadn't thought of. Like you say, talking to people and hopefully informing them of the issues is about all one can do, short of organizing "rallies" or "protests", and I'm not really sure that changes any minds of the general voting population, though it could (may, might, conceivably could, etc.) influence a legislator's voting on a particular issue if directed specifically at them. That, or donate a few million to your candidate... which I'm just a little short on at the moment. Not sure how you overcome seriously entrenched special interests (everyone getting "favors" from the current administration). In a place like Hawaii, where the welfare recipients receive the equivalent (cash, medical benefits, food stamps, etc.) of just under $30 an hour wage (#1 in the U.S.), and a huge percentage of the population is employed by the government, there is serious momentum for the status quo.
As you said, it's seriously frustrating, and sickening to see our rights and liberties being sold out.
