With all that is going on with this political season you hear lots of commentary as to what a particular candidate should or shouldn’t do. You hear how they should appeal to this group of people or how they should tailor their comments to that group and so on. One of the things that I heard recently was how someone should have a “grassroots” movement.
A grassroots movement is one driven by the constituents of a community. The term implies that the creation of the movement and the group supporting it is natural and spontaneous, highlighting the differences between this and a movement that is orchestrated by traditional power structures. Often, grassroots movements are at the local level, as many volunteers in the community give their time to support the local party, which can lead to helping the national party. For instance, a grassroots movement can lead to significant voter registration for a political party, which in turn helps the state and national parties. Thank you very much Wikipedia.
But if you didn’t know that, you wouldn’t think that is what it means. On the surface when one thinks of grassroots they think of something that is dark, underground, germy and dirty even. Is that something you would want associated with your candidate of choice? I think not!
What I want for my candidate is an alcohol laden campaign. I am sure that initially you thought this guy has got to be kidding. Does he really want some sort of alcohol laden political campaign? Yeah I do, because as we all know alcohol kills germs! A clean campaign would be nice for a change.
