1。 乱骂中国，希望———也许———可以多拿到一些票（4M人中的1% = 40000），
完全放弃华裔票。
2。 不乱骂中国，希望能拿到华裔票（40000华人中的motivated 90% = 35000, 50%
of whom originally was probably voting for your opponent)
你会选哪个？ 假设你的对手选择和你一样，你会选哪个？ 假设你的对手选择和你不
一样，你会选哪个？
为了帮助所有的候选人做对他们自己最有利的决定， 我们开始好好准备2016吧。

发帖数: 18403 | 3 Presidential election is based on electoral colleges which in most states is
winner take all. You need to read up on the hanging chad election in
Florida which settled in Supreme court in favor of G W Bush. Basically Al
Gore lost the presidential election on 2000 because of 536 votes in Florida.
In general, in US elections. candidates have a strong disincentive to
alienate voting blocks of passionate voters. But because of the lack of an
effective Chinese American voting block (especially in the battleground
states), so far all nonincumbent candidates had the incentive to bash China
for no reason on the campaign track. This is what we need to change for
2016. Please read and help out.

发帖数: 18403 | 5 Especially in Battleground states. All recent presidential elections had
close states like Ohio and Florida. Even 300 votes defecting from the
China-hating camp for the China-fair camp could change the course of
history.
So we need to plan ahead and grow our organization especially in the battle
ground states. California/Newyork has its roles, but the American system is
designed to disincentivize candidates' hate speech targeting a small
minority or their homeland. We, as Chinese Americans need to make sure we
exercise our rights and votes against the China-hating rhetoric spouted by
political hopefuls. |
