10. Right centrist because they do voter contact?

I find that most socialist factions are more interested in discussing theory with each other than in contacting average non-policy wonk voters. Although it is really unpleasant for committed people to be told stuff like "I'm not voting in the primary because I don't want to read up on so many candidates." One 3/3 voter that I canvassed for as transportation initiative said that she threw her ballot away because she wasn't going to waste a stamp to vote on just one ballot item. People who have informed opinions about the difference between Stalin and Trotsky don't like it much either.
