Apparently quite difficult. I think that from the sheer number of hours these people spend responding to allegations of all kinds on this forum, it is fair to infer that they do care about that cause.
We're also talking about people who are significantly smarter than average.
So there are two things here:
First of all, I think that you severely underestimate the apathy phenomenon I was talking about.
Second of all; yes, it's pretty clear they aren't marketing specialist or perhaps even aware enough of its value to spend money hiring a team of such experts. (or maybe you're just overestimating and overstating its value in the present circumstances, again going back to the apathy factor)
I haven't followed your exchanges with Skall, but it's pretty clear to me that you likely didn't come off as simply wanting to help in the most constructive way possible from the beginning (if that's not the case, all my apologies but I simply highly doubt it), so again, now it just comes down to your trying to make a case for the EV that you see in their potentially spending money on a marketing team, or your offering your help/advice, or your showing up with 200 immigrants at the next rally, etc...
Anything else is a waste of energy and purely destructive.

THIS!!!!
The guy has no clue how shameful this is. HE IS ON THE BOARD! He is on the BOARD!!!! of this organization.
I don't know, people without humor worry me a lot more than the alternative (I'm looking at you, Mason) and honestly, if I were constantly attacked for what I'm doing, 95% of the time baselessly, I would personally be taking it far worse than this.
