Democrats need to hit hard against this "2 sides" theme. [View all]

Climate change, evolution, slavery, nazis...you name it, Republicans want to "Teech teh contraversi!!1!"

Combating that nonsense should be a talking point for every Dem who goes on the air, and every Dem in Congress. Time to go on the attack, Democrats. And, while you're at it, combat the "liberal media" mantra that has dominated the last several decades. That mantra has been highly effective and incredibly damaging.
