In this era of partisan domination of virtually all media how can moderate voices be heard above the din of the self-serving, power hungry wolves-in-sheep‘s-clothing on all “sides” of every debate? Are you a Democrat or a Republican or a powerless Independent? Is it possible to have an effective political voice not bound by group-think? Polarization of Left and Right

The partisans of the Left and Right profit from a black and white worldview; they prefer the public, especially moderates, to see the political world like this: Polarization of Left and Right

This polarized viewpoint causes a distortion in the efforts of the various moderate pundits and politicians; mis- aiming their marketing efforts thusly: How Partisanship Distorts Marketing

Reality however does not conform to partisan convenience; this graphic more accurately reflects the spectrum nature of the body politic. How Partisanship Distorts Marketing

The problem with moderate marketing is that most of the effort is spent on a politically mushy middle; too uncommitted, too uncaring or just too eager to see all sides to ever take any side. How Partisanship Distorts Marketing

This graphic displays a more effective allocation for moderates; Citizens of BOTH parties who are on the independent side of the mainstreams are more likely to vote and seek a more potent political voice; most not being satisfied with the “party-Line”. Effective Moderate Marketing

Sometimes a simple paradigm shift can make the difference between a slow defeat and a driving victory. The question is, will moderates squander their efforts on an ineffectual “middle” or spend their bucks where the bang is, at the middle edge of BOTH parties. Effective Moderate Marketing
