Mr. Axelrod, I'll be blunt...

[woo me with science]

87. Here is your Third Way approach, folks.

The arguments for silence fall apart on their face, yet they are repeated like a mantra. And when people don't comply, they become threats.

This is how the right wing grabs control of the narrative...by sheer repetition and the constant mantra that nothing but passivity to the right wing agenda is feasible or possible, even when there is overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

This whole issue is very helpful in exposing the real motives of the Third Way for Democrats who might still be unsure of their real motives. I can think of very few issues where there is MORE support, both morally AND in the electorate, for the liberal position.....yet the mantra remains, ludicrously, for silence and resignation.
