Democrats High Road Since Reagan Has Led To Trump.

I have anguishingly watched the Democrats get gamed for years hoping against hope. I remember when we ended up with judge Thomas. The Democrats have caved in so many ways through the years. It is ok to take the high road and honorable. But there is a time when the high road fails when you are getting your ass kicked all over the place.

It is not that you have to cheat, but Democrats have a tendency to not even punch back. Instead they depend on the idea that taking the high road is enough to win respect and votes. In some circles it earns you get nothing but contempt. Democrats almost reminds you of General McClellan who would not carry the fight to the Confederates during the civil war.

We are at war and Democrats need to treat it as such. There is NO decorum any more. Hell walk to of the Congress if you have to in the Senate. Deny a quorum. Make noise and do something. Parliamentary bullshit will do nothing in this battle.

I can't think of anything the GOP has done that I would want our party to emulate, unless it's better delineating the existential Republican threat.

I have been disappointed in lack of push-back for years! This is a war, being civil has gotten us no where, time to stop basing the hope of the country on a losing tactic.
