Here's how we win in November and beyond. [View all]

If you want to be a true, patriotic Republican American, you have to proclaim your loyalty to, and love for, a fertilized egg and an AR 15. How did we get here? How did we let a minority combination of ignorant, arrogant, greedy, bible-beating, racist, deranged people fuck the rest of us up so badly? Well, we played by the rules and they don't. Nonetheless, how in the world did they take us off the edge of a cliff?

Here's how they did it. Too many people don't vote. Especially, people who would vote for Democrats if they took the time to do it.

The Republican Party declared war on America about 40 or 50 years ago. Some are racists, some want a country in which greed is rewarded, and some are relics from the past who ended up living in a century they couldn't deal with. But they know the power of fear and they use that fear to get their voters to turn out.

And what about we Democrats? We believe in fairness, justice, the goodness of the human spirit, and so much more. But so fucking what? Let me make a suggestion. How about we use fear to get every existing, or would-be Democrat out to vote this November. We don't even have to make shit up. All we have to do is tell them the truth of the world in which they'll be living under Republican rule.

So how do we get the message out there? I know this is a foreign concept to us, but we all have to be singing from the same hymn book. Everyone, from the president, to the Dems in congress, to Dems at the local level, to you and me. We all must, MUST, let America know the consequences that will befall us if the Republican Party controls all the levers of power. Republicans must be revealed as, viewed as, and treated as the dangerous domestic enemies they are. And all must be made to see this.

How do we beat them? Get every breathing Democrat to the polls, even if we have to drag or carry them there. And don't let up. Do it this election and in all elections to come. The fascists aren't going away. Time we ground them into the dust in each and every election.
