    I disagree with the idea that democrats need to play dirty, even just a little bit, to get one up on the republicans. Look at the whole “weird “ thing that riled up the R’s and excited the D’s — there was nothing dirty about it.

    No, what the D’s need to do is keep up with intelligently pushing back. D’s don’t need to be louder or annoying or dirty. They do need to stop turning the other cheek, and ignoring the rhetoric from the R’s. They need people to stand up and say No to the R’s.

    I saw a video where someone was saying that there is a difference between being peaceful and passive. That being peaceful does not make you weak. I believe that sentiment applies very well here: the D’s need to stop being passive.

      ok so, this is what i mean by “dirty” in this context, previously dems have never really done this, as we’ve held this moral high ground. I’m not saying we should make shit up and lie, i’m just saying we should get into the mud and roll around a little bit,

      Regardless, i will leave you with the idea that the only way to fight fascism is education… What do you do when fascism has already crept up? Good question.
