We cannot win by hating our fellow Americans.

150. They want to kill us

"Win their votes?"

It is time to face reality. We are up against fascism. Commit to fighting that. Enough people will join. But pandering around to maybe get a bare majority here and there with weak, middle of the road milquetoast candidates with a "D" behind their name, and then trying to fight will not work. That is exactly what brought us to where we are.

Commit to the fight first, and people will follow. Pussyfoot around trying to "win them over" and we will get screwed again and again. Trying to out-Republicans the Republicans always fails, whether it is trying to "appear tough on crime, immigration, war, the budget, etc., or it is privatization and dismantling the public infrastructure, it never works. It doesn't bring over many Republicans, it alienates the base, and it confuses the people who don't follow politics.
