The analysis of the 50% of eligible voters who are historical non-voters has already been linked here, so I’ll leave it to you to find it yourself. It clearly shows that that group is not moderate or centrist as is often believed, but rather put off by both the lack of voice given to the voting public and the perceived general sliminess of politics across the board.

Composing an intentionally deceptive video piecing together statements from anyone that they never really said is just going to turn those voters off. Just more of the same from lying politicians. Oh, by the way, that voting group is also tired of people insulting their intelligence.

I’ve probably said it here before, but my strong belief is that the purpose of any political campaign (at least, successful ones) is to demoralize and/or burn out as many potential voters as possible so they can be relied upon to stay home and not vote at all. Those who consistently vote, probably consistently vote R or D. I’d bet money that a political ad rarely if ever changed someone’s mind (other than perhaps whether to vote at all)
