In this debate, you're never going to persuade the pro-turnout people that they're wrong. To win it, you're just going to have to organize the pro-persuasion people and get them to the polls.

After all, there's a huge untapped reservoir of pro-persuasion people who already agree with you. You just need to mobilize them, by emphasizing the most extreme and unpersuasive pro-persuasion lines, and demonizing everyone on the pro-turnout side. That should do the trick.

I would posit that Democrats didn't do very much to persuade Republicans to vote for them. Instead, the Trump-selected candidates were demonstrably awful. Dr. Oz is a charlatan and a resident of NJ. Herschel Walker can't string three sentences together and, oh by the way, had affairs, multiple kids out of marriage and funded abortions. Kari Lake came closest to a normal candidate, but she was all-in on "the election was stolen" silliness, as we can see from her current, meritless lawsuits.
