Winning independent suburban women

[Anonymous]

If you’re any presidential candidate trying to win over independent suburban women (don’t we decide elections).

I have the advice for you. It follows a 2015 article that I’ve thought about in a variety of contexts (not political, and political).

I’ll share that article later, but some people could recognize it.

We need to fall in love with you.

You and your spouse should be having meals with families regularly. Meals with your own family, regularly, and sitting down to dinner with "us."

Don't do the campaign pat speeches. Work on genuine conversation.

Genuinely wake up and realize if you're campaigning, you can make it a good day. You have a privilege. Be genuinely and visibly happy to do what you're doing.

It's no vacation, but if it's wearing you down, do something YOU want to do. I'm very serious when I say it should be a day you enjoy and can be proud of.

We need video of you reading or singing a bedtime song to your kids. When was the last time you sang to someone, or to your own kids. If you're not a singer, you're a book reader.

We only want on-their-game people. I'm sick of dummies like Trump (among other reasons we loathe him). Don't apply if you are should be retiring.

Get healthy. What was your parent's cause of death (if dead)? What were your 4 bio grandparent's cause of death. Show us you're working in the healthcare system to prevent your own.

TALK HEALTHCARE with us. *At the dinners mentioned above

Find stuff in common with everybody. Not a handshake and move along. If you're going to shake hands, you might as well take a little time to talk.

Fewer handshakes if necessary. More connection with fewer people.

We want to hear your gratitude for the U.S. Go ahead and point out the problems. At every opportunity, point out a silver lining if you can.

Anger is out. Freedom, living your own life, live and let live, accountability for choices, stop with violent or antagonistic rhetoric.

*In fact it is my opinion all campaigners should stop using words like "fight" to refer to people. There are other ways to show you're a "fighter."

Do we know your life story? Make a quick. And don't emphasize the sob story. We heard that part.

Everybody should know something about your life story. But again, don't bring out the waterworks.

Summary: Wear sunscreen.

I agree, OP, but I don't think they'll hear you. DCUM is powerful but not that powerful.

What are you doing to improve yourself? You're a privileged person. You're seeking higher office, don't act like you aren't capable of learning something.

What are you learning lately?

Sorry OP, I don't need to fall in love with a candidate. I'm electing them to office, not marrying them.

And all the singing song to babies and sitting down at dinner table is utterly useless unless you're committed to providing and protecting bodily autonomy of women.

The End.

Highlander: there can be only one.

Republicans: You're running, you're probably not going to win. Drop out early if Trump gets serious. We need it to be Trump v. ONE (or maybe two); and for Trump to lose big and early in the primaries.

Democrats: What is going on? Someone at the DNC, encourage Biden to quit. We need someone else.
