Excellent analysis, everyone!
The last few years we have only been learning about, and testing the DINO strategy here and there. The next election, 2018, will be a full court press. If you've never voted in your life, you need to get out there and vote. If you don't have a definitive conservative in your district that you feel compelled to vote for IN THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY; then register as a Democrat, and help us unseat as many of these establishment Democrats as possible, IN THE DEMOCRAT PRIMARY.
We are overt and vocal about our strategy for several reasons, the most important is we need literally thousands of people, who haven't voted regularly because (and they were right before) that their vote didn't matter. They were marginalized, and gerrymandered into it not mattering. THIS TIME, 2018, EVERY VOTE COUNTS. Either vote for your guy, or vote with us to get the bums out.
The second reason we are overtly discussing the DINO movement (but not some specific tactics or specific priority political targets), is because we want to SCARE THE HELL out of the establishment Democrats, so they are forced to spend a lot more money fighting us to support incumbents (the establishment Dems), and fighting 'non-establishment' Dems who are running against them in the Primary. This will cost the establishment Dems in Maryland a lot of treasure, money they won't have to spread around when they go against the conservatives (mostly Republicans) in the General election.
Looks like everyone is on the same sheet of music. We just need to get 10x more folks to register as Dems before the 2018 election. Please tell your friends, and join us!
An important point here:
You DO NOT need to be registered as a D to vote for an R in the General Election.
So if any "Summer DINOs" want to switch back to R, feel free - it won't hurt the effort at all. As a matter of fact, it may just confuse the crap out of the pollsters and the DemocRAT Establishment.
