Is it time for the Democrats to get more aggressive with their Republican opponents?

[kentuck]

It's easy to attack "the Republicans" generically, but they need to attack them individually, one by one. They have a duty to do so.

Because they are anti-American and anti-democracy. If they are pro-Trump, they are anti-freedom. They do not deserve to be in the Congress of the United States. They represent the worst in America.

If they cannot defend our laws and our Constitution, they cannot defend the American people.

In my opinion, Democrats should attack them for their lack of courage and their refusal to defend our country from domestic enemies.

They should call for Republican voters to send them home. Do not be a part of their conspiracy against our nation. Do not send them back to Washington.

1. It's way past time!!

The Dems need to learn how to beat this evil party at their own game. The only one who really seems to get this is Senator Fetterman. The Dems' overall problem is that they're too nice!!!

2. Keep the pressure on them, undermine them, but hold dry powder

If you hit them too hard too early you're only giving public opinion room to rebound, which it will. Biden operation is doing a fine job.

5. You might be on to something...

You write:

"They should call for Republican voters to send them home. Do not be a part of their conspiracy against our nation. Do not send them back to Washington."

We are well aware that the majority if republican voters are exhibiting the signs of being in a cult.

And we know that the attraction of cults is that the victims are promised a sense of belonging to a group that will make them feel superior in same way to outsiders.

Maybe, if we can get them to understand that by identifying (and voting) as a Republican, they are showing the world that they are just like the bad people that they see on TV every day, maybe their own need to be socially accepted will snap them out of the fog they're in?

6. YES!! Going high when they go low is NOT working!!

7. It was never gonna work.

There is way way way too much at stake now to be nice and take the bullying.

[Runningdawg]

17. Nope. It was never going to work. But it was a catchy slogan at a time before the world new MAGAts

[Scrivener7]

8. Um... well... yes. About 40 years past time.

[GaYellowDawg]

14. That was EXACTLY my thought.

43 years. Jimmy Carter is and was a true gentleman, but I don't know how many times I've wished he really took the gloves off and hammered Reagan.

[Sky Jewels]

16. Beat me to it.

[marble falls]

9. Yes, but without the lawlessness of the RW.

[Paladin]

10. Yes, as always. (nt)

[yardwork]

11. Yes!

[Alliepoo]

12. They should have started doing that

Around 40 years ago. It’s way beyond time.

[Chainfire]

13. I think that deprogramming them in concentration camps would be about right. ;)

We do need to push back harder.

[Bettie]

15. YES

definitely.

Attack them for all the reasons you said. Point out their lies in detail every time they come out of their lying faces.

18. I managed to get into a local radio talk show and called one out about a year ago.

That's a big thing both in local politics and even with national politics. Surprisingly, especially on the locally based programs, there aren't a lot of callers, though if the host is a Trumpie, there will be lead-up questions asked to determine whether you're conservative enough to join the conversation. I had my talking points ready, along with facts, including references to a couple of websites, and managed to answer the questions in a way that they let me on. I cited websites in my question, and when he tried to divert the conversation, I talked over the top of him and continued to do so until there was silence and I was the only one speaking. When the host said, "Why don't you let him answer the question," I said, "He's not answering the question I asked, and I'll be glad to listen if he answers it."

Did I get anywhere? Not with the legislator, but I got a website reference on the air, and they didn't bleep or cut off my comments.

We need to flood those kind of programs with constant calls.

19. Well past time.

20. Of course. It was "time" back in the previous century
