The Democrats Dilemma (or is it?)

[Caliman73]

9. So basically, destroy the village to save the village?

I have to disagree on this.

If we cheat to win, steal, or whatever unethical and previously illegal practices the Republicans use then what are we even fighting for? We can't claim any legitimacy if we win other than "We cheated better". Then we have to cheat and steal, and oppress the other side to STAY in power.

I definitely think that we need to stop being "too nice" and following rules of decorum and other nonsense that Republicans abandoned long ago and still try (and often succeed) in holding Democrats to. We need to call a liar a liar and a criminal a criminal. We need to call them on their bullshit, to their face, and shout over them. When they complain that we are being mean we just say, "Fuck you, you dirty cheating bastard, I AM being nice here, as nice as you deserve".

That other stuff about lying and cheating though, is just a path to something we don't want, and could never correct.


We have to give voters something to vote for WHILE body checking the Republicans. Fight, and fight HARD, but do not resort to cheating.
