In reply to the discussion: Republicans Getting Away With Massive Voter Suppression And We Do Nothing - We Will Lose Again [View all]5. WE NEED TO GO TO WAR
Or we will not be allowed to win.

I am all for a win on voting. However what is this war you ask for, how will we fight it, who will run it and how will we win it? Platitudes will not get us anywhere, we need more than that.
What we need is people to get off their collective asses and knock on doors, and get people to VOTE!. Nothing will change if we do not vote. GOTV and vote Democratic.
Someday you will need a hunting license or a concealed weapons permit to vote.
If we let them.
And it looks like we would.

Wow. You went from bold...we need to go to war, without a plan to do so, then in one short OP/ comment you said we are wimps because we will let them win without a fight. "If we let them. And it looks like we would."
This is Democratic Underground, yes it is a place for discussion, however it is not a place for defeatist attitudes nor a place to trash DEMOCRATS.
GOTV
VOTE DEMOCRATIC!
