a term I want to see Democrats start using: "Voter Nullification"

14. I agree with half of what you said...we won't go there and that is biggest issue.

Our biggest problem is that we refuse to fight fire with fire, too much high road / high ground nonsense in the midst of a life or death street brawl. It is not the words, its the lack of repetition and follow up. Our ability to accept and process nuance hurts here too.

The GQP hangs a controversy around a Democratic pol like an albatross and then keeps adding the same lines over and over and over like a mantra to the trained seals of the base; who dutifully repeat the bleating to each other and keep the message fomenting.

Our problem is not the words, its entirely the willingness to fight in the mud based on a misplaced faith in decorum and reason that has been drummed out of the no-longer loyal opposition.

We insist on bringing a knife to the gun fight and then can't fathom why we keep getting shot.
