(2,346 posts)If i understand your mindset correctly so far in this thread then you believe that you all(using 'you all' since i am a Norwegian thus can't really say we) should oppose any and all things from trump/the reps since they are pure evil and a threat to what you value.
I just can't agree with that for the simple reason that if you oppose them on an issue that would improve upon one or more of the values you cherish then YOU would be the one thats harming those values(obviously if there are insidius or harmful strings attached to said bill, oppose away since that would be common sense)
As an outsider tho, i simply don't think sinking to the level of the republicans and blindly opposing everything they want to do would be beneficial to the Democratic party.
There is a quote by George Carlin(amongst others) i like that somewhat suits this: Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.( aka Democrats shouldn't try to emulate the idiocy of the republicans as they have much more practice in being idiots )
