See this is why the other side triumphs. Democrats play like the game has not been rigged and changed by those they play against!

I’m all for taking the gloves off a bit, but completely becoming our enemy just ensures we’re all doomed. My point is, don’t issue the pardons. Make him show his face to the American people. And be prepared to fight back. Him going after people who haven’t committed crimes creates an opportunity.
Doing the honorable is my ethic too, but with dishonorable people whose goal is to destroy their “enemy, the liberal” continuing to acquiesce in their arena of play is insanity!
Precisely. Keep playing the "honorable" game expecting there will be different results is insane. Particularly when there are direct, public threats to lives coming from the incoming administration. Biden must use his powers to slow down the fascist overtake of our country as much as possible.
These fights aren’t free of fire. While 45 he bogs up the system with frivolous charges paid for by our tax dollars, the resources that protect democracy and neoliberalism are depleted. If Democrats can’t win on messaging, it’s over. And they haven’t done a good job of that in decades.
Y’all cut this trap out about messaging! Which message is more appealing than student loan forgiveness, housing start assistance, buttressing the health care system, civility in the populace, provable 🔼 employment and better infrastructure? The racists voted for the racists, periodt!
Let me be clearer, White people feeling threatened by the phantoms of brown people caravans, pet eating blacks, voted for a felonious rapist fraud and traitorous insurrectionist because, Whiteness.
At Dept store inline behind 2 White lower mid-class looking ladies at or near Social Security age! Gleeful they voted for “much maligned and persecuted Trump” who won “despite his enemies; he’s a good man”! The fact of SS and Medicare under threat will be a rude awakening for them in a few years.
I wasn’t talking about the previous election. Racism and - probably even more so - misogyny were definitely issues. I was talking about the future. If the side of democracy has to fork out millions in court and lawyer fees, it’s the messaging that will raise that money.
My synopsis in the “bluesky” above has been Democrats message for eons and will continue to be so. Whiteness and its “benefits” to Whites is a greater pull > obviously not voting against their own interests! No one named Jamaal Brewster with Trump’s rapist & lecherous record wldve won, he did right!
So what do you recommend moving forward?
*free of cost Not sure where autocorrect got fire lol
Lol. You're exactly right. We must win on messaging.
