If you would spend half the time going after Republicans that you spend going after Democrats.
Restating "who else you gonna vote for?" does not make it more effective.
Your strategy is to push democrats into a corner. It worked so well that republicans took over in 2010
No, our candidates failed at their job. They relied on "who else you gonna vote for?". It failed, because it does not attract enough voters.
Mindbogglingly stupid is to continue fighting for a strategy that has utterly failed in 2014, 2010, 2004 and 2000.
"Who else you gonna vote for?" does not work. Screaming about the Republicans only gives voters a reason to vote against the Republican. It does not give voters a reason to vote for the Democrat. Resulting in terrible turnout and Republican victories.
How about we don't keep doing the same failed strategy over and over again?
