Online Politics is Usually Trench Warfare, Not Blitzkrieg
Talking with several different groups lately, I’ve ended up using the analogy that online politics has more in common with trench warfare than it does with blitzkrieg (hmmm, maybe not bring that up with the Poles next time). What I mean is that it’s usually incremental, the communications equivalent of a battle of attrition. An effective online political campaign is most often the cumulative result of many, many individual connections over a long period of time — rarely do you get the kind of sudden, overwhelming breakthrough that catapults you far along toward your goals all at once.
