In reply to the discussion: Avenatti shows us just how to deal with Trump and ANY bully: SMASH THEM DOWN HARDER! And GOOD! [View all]Mojo2
(332 posts)Since 2000, Democrats have taken the attitude to not engage against the hostile attacks of the GOP, rise above it, if they go low, we go high, and what has it gotten us? It has gotten us two of the worst Presidents in the history of the Country, Dotard and W, and in both cases we have allowed these two and their enablers to drive the narrative with little or no resistance. John Kerry is a coward that fudged his service record, Hilary is a criminal that needs locked up, etc., these attacks are just a tip of the iceberg, but essentially these attacks received little response in counter attacks towards two highly flawed candidates in W and Dotard. People like Avenatti, at least hit back and don't allow the crooks to drive the narrative, which is what has been lacking from our side for way too long. It's too bad that people on our side want to attack a man like Avenatti, that brings passion and fire to the game, something that has been missing for many years. We are the party of organized labor, the party that opposes racism, the party that opposes poverty, we should stand strong and incorporate some of Avenatti's tactics to battle a force that has no low point as far as they will go.
