(3,471 posts)...cohesive, collective group we're to concerned about be nice, polite, professional, ethical because that's who we are. The DNC needs to hire progressive, aggressive dems that meet regularly and set taking points only they go out to represent dems... to put the lens on repubs including trumpf and every time (which is, well all the time) they spill hate and lies, spin hate propaganda, lie about their damaging, bigot ed policies . ..now, do I purport lies, hateful rhetoric, insight violence...no! Dems work on the premise of facts, truth.
There is nothing wrong wth fighting back...this when "they go low we go high " is bullshit! It sounds elitist and smug. It didn't work in 2016, won't work in 2018, 2020. Dems then go into a lengthy explanation instead of just saying "shut up you bully " When eltrumpf goes after someone say about tapping his phone...say prove it or shut the f up, of course Obama wouldn't say that, but rest assure if he had, eltrumpf would have backed off wth whimper like the coward he is...or better yet dont say a word, just sue his ass for defamation and be done with it. When Kelly stated lies, racially tinged comment about about Representative Wilson ... Wilson. And dems came out stating he needs to apologize ..still waiting--then, the Black Caucus sent letter requesting an apology ...still waiting! ...Damn it! I would have read the letter on the floor, and read transcripts of press meeting where he said hateful racially charged comments about Wilson, read transcript of actual of event in question and have of public record by reading it all on the floor of congress. Or, rather than all that...not say a word, not ask, beg for apology.. .don't give notice to anyone ..just go straight to court and sue Kelly for defamation and demand a public apology, sue for damages to be sent to a black college..... I wouldn't settle for anything less..
Either of my suggestions...calls these bullies out, gets into a formal public setting, of public record.
Sorry, for length, and if you've read to this point... thanks for allowing me to rant!
Ps. Sorry didn't edit. Do you see how we' re always apologizing, self correcting... providing a long,extensive explanation ..aye! I need to practice what I preach! (aye: hurt/painful; that hurts my alma or Corazon; can't take it any more; can't believe it; a sigh of, for whatever... aye is usually followed by dios ...aye dios. On God! Anyway have a good Night!
