Topics
主持人:本文探讨了在总统大选最后阶段,候选人和支持者们鼓励人们投票的多种方式,并分析了两党各自的选民动员策略。 特朗普和沃尔兹:竞选活动后期,候选人更关注激励已支持自己的人投票,而不是说服中立选民。特朗普使用直接而强硬的语言号召支持者投票,并要求他们动员身边的人一起投票。沃尔兹则鼓励年轻选民想象未来的自己,并为捍卫民主而投票。 米歇尔·奥巴马:投票是私事,不必向他人透露自己的投票意向。她强调选民拥有选择权,无论伴侣的政治观点如何。 J.D. Vance:利用恐惧感激励选民投票。他描述了一种可怕的场景,如果卡马拉·哈里斯以微弱优势当选总统,以此来激励选民积极投票。 哈里斯:呼吁选民克服冷漠,行使投票权。她强调投票的重要性,并以吉米·卡特百岁生日仍投票为例,鼓励大家积极参与投票。 Asma Khalid:哈里斯竞选团队的选民动员工作目标是:稳固赢得城市选区,在郊区取得压倒性胜利,并在农村地区减少失利幅度。他们采用传统电话银行和上门拜访等方式,同时利用关系型组织动员选民。 Stephen Fowler:特朗普竞选团队的选民动员工作主要依靠志愿者,而非付费工作人员;一些第三方组织也参与其中。他们利用志愿者的热情,进行上门拜访和宣传,但一些共和党人担心这种方式可能会导致一些选民被遗漏。 Ben Wickler:民主党吸取了2016年大选的教训,开展了全年无休的选民动员工作。他们认为,持续不断的努力是赢得选举的关键。
