and given that we've lost like a 1000 down-ticket state and local seats in 30 years, I think we have a serious problem with our approach, don't you?
Of course, strategy is the discussion we should be having. People here, all too often would rather have a discussion about which voters to shit on. That isn't a good strategy because it is divisive, regardless of what side of it you're on, and turns the focus from a discussion of strategy, to one of animosity and distrust. There are people here, regardless of whether this is a sound way to arrive at an opinion of a candidate in the last election, who have publicly stated that it was the posters on the other side who made them reject said candidate. I mean, yeah, that's a sad condition, but this is apparently who we are at DU...people, like anyone else.
So why don't you tell me why its a good strategy to continue to tell people they were stupid or selfish for either voting for, or abstaining from voting for, one candidate or another? Tell me why that kind of language isn't divisive?
