(6,974 posts)I have MANY friends who STILL believe that Dems should "Stay above the fray." "Don't sink to their level."
They're "purity" sorts who won't "sully" themselves.
I explained to a few who now get that playing by Marcus Queensbery rules will get you killed in today's political climate, and that thuglicans/fatso want to MURDER/KILL you by taking your health care AWAY from YOU in this latest tax scam bill, before it really got going.They saw that it was/is TRUE.
THEY NOW GET IT. That we're in a life or death fight with a murder in the GOP/fatso who are wielding damn MACHETES. Fighting them with a Marshmallow isn't the answer.
Several of them STILL are not THERE yet, and would rather be "ADULTS." I say yeah, if you're stricken with a chronic disease (Cancer), and your treatment/cap limit is met, that's IF you have health insurance at ALL, you won't make it to adult hood so to speak. A friend's son has cancer and she's scared to DEATH of what'll happen to her son. He cries most nights and wonders out aloud WHY the president hates him so much and wants him to DIE by taking his health care away.
