Lincoln Project: We go low so you don't have to. #DNC2020
Someone on the thread said they go low, we go joe...
So what do we do now? Whats our strategy? Over the past four years, a lot of people have asked me, When others are going so low, does going high still really work? My answer: going high is the only thing that works, because when we go low, when we use those same tactics of degrading and dehumanizing others, we just become part of the ugly noise thats drowning out everything else. We degrade ourselves. We degrade the very causes for which we fight.
But lets be clear: going high does not mean putting on a smile and saying nice things when confronted by viciousness and cruelty. Going high means taking the harder path. It means scraping and clawing our way to that mountain top. Going high means standing fierce against hatred while remembering that we are one nation under God, and if we want to survive, weve got to find a way to live together and work together across our differences.
