Silence Of The Democrats Is Deafening. They Are Like The Dog Who Won't Hunt.

[TheMastersNemesis]

I am getting pissed that the Dems just are so silent. They are surrendering the battlefield to the goons and clowns. It is hard to understand why they won't enter the field of battle. Right now the GOP is putting out its talking points with very little push back. Sanders is the only politician pushing back and Dems are attacking him.

It is frustrating to watch this charade. GOP lies need to be answered. And the last debate was full bald face of lies. Where are the Dems in publicly supporting Planned Parenthood. Where are our reps and Senators?

I believe in "smash face" politics. I believe in aggressively and viciously pushing back. Forget civility. We lose because we won't fight. There are times you have to get in the mud. Other wise you lose.

That means going after the media and reporters for their corruption and malfeasance. That means pushing even the "fairness doctrine". That means attacking pundits and reporters directly if need be.

"Ropa dope" strategy is not working.

1. No, Bernie is not the only one responding.

There is a thread or post here about Hillary responding to the language issue brought up by the American Taliban terrorists last night

2. I Sure Hope So. We Need More Blunt Attacks.

Yes she did hammer them recently. But we need to see the same from other Democrats in Congress. And they need to be vicious.

4. Oh, you mean in general, yes, you are right. The nastiness and hate from the teaparty

has taken over the national conversation so much so that your typical Democrat doesnt know what to say or how or when or where.

I dont know how they even get a camera in front of them or a reporter so they can be reported on.

5. The Third Way have become indolent

after so many years at the top of the economic food chain. The good news is that this gives us the opportunity to replace 'em as Party leadership, with First-Way Democrats.

6. Don Trump belives in that smash face thing, I personally think it is ineffective most of the time.

Negative, aggressive politics is not effective around here. Get in the mud, you lose.

8. How about, when your enemy is stuck in a hole, let them keep digging?

9. smash face is for destruction, subtle is for victory

Dems are letting the Repubs use us their money and energy, letting them expose their hatefulness, letting them be seen in their lies and fantasies.

Sanders is speaking truth and others are coming along. Dems are messy, true. And frequently patience is effective.

I plan to stay out of your way!!

10. Dems are too busy eating their own

12. The Democratic establishment is in the tank for Hillary.

(Warning: sports metaphor)

The DNC is making a classic error in judgement: they are overlooking their next opponent (Sanders in the Primary) because they believe that Hillary will win in a blowout, and are game-planning for the following opponent (the Republican in the General).

The Democratic Primary is shaping up to be a classic "trap game."

is a yappy little mutt that shits in its own kennel.
