Well, howdy there internet people, let's go again. So today we are going to talk about Republicans

and Democrats and independents and outreach.

We're going to do this because I get a lot of questions.

But the general idea is why are you

wasting so much time trying to reach out to conservatives? MAGA will never change.

You can't be reasoned out of a position that you weren't reasoned into.

So on and so forth.

And I get the sentiment behind them. I really do believe me. I

understand where you're coming from. But there's a couple of things to note about

that. First and foremost, I mean trying to reach people that's kind of part of the reason the channel exists

the second part is that if you aren't trying to reach people,

you are by default accepting the status quo.

I don't think anybody watching this channel wants the status quo.

And then there's the other thing and it's the big thing.

I understand the sentiment because everything seems so polarized. I get it on a gut emotional

level. Where I don't get it is all data.

31% of people identified as members of the Democratic Party.

They viewed themselves as Democrats.

25% viewed themselves as Republicans. 41% viewed themselves as independence.
