    But I also think many of them are nonvoting,

    And even if they don’t watch the whole episode, they’ll watch that clip because he’s in it.

    That’s what outreach should be, reaching out to people who’s values align with the Dem voting base, but aren’t politically active

    Not changing the candidates policy in an attempt to “win over” people who vote Republican.

    It’s easier to get someone who agrees with you to vote, then get a voter who doesn’t agree with you to vote for you.

      but it’s also doubly effective to convert a voter than creating a new one, because you gain a vote AND your opponent loses a vote.
