Democrats are too 'effin' polite

Groper Don the Con should have been called a Con from the day he called her 'crooked Hillary'.
It should have been loud and clear - with the facts clearly demonstrating that he is a fugging Con.

... is a bunch of nothing from the DNC!!!

I was about to post an OP similar to the Rude Pundits before I read what he thought and I was thinking the same thing this morning... the DNCs relative silence is deafening.

If this was the GOP who lost under these conditions where a DNC party member investigatory agency head posted a letter 11 days before an election that EMPIRICALLY affected the election either way the GOP would have bombs strapped to their bodies !!!!

They'd be literally blowin shit up ... or something close

We expect the person who wont be here in Feb to be doing something vs the people who have some tangible authority and will be here in Feb to do relative little.

Fuck that ... there's LITTLE leadership in the DNC.... there's noise makers ... that's about it right now... people willing to make some noise but not get off their fuckin ass's and burn shit down to stop Benedict Donald.

If they REALLY believed our intel agencies the DNC would at least be threatening to shit EVERY MUTHA >>>>in thing down right now.

Trump had a pass like no other

In his primary the other rethugs started getting rude and saying outrageous things
They went down fast

There are no woulda coulda shouldas with this guy

He eliminated himself everyday but it only made him stronger

The Access Hollywood vid is the only thing that made a dent

Perhaps if there was a second one that came out but who knows

Fuck You Comey

when you are a decent person, it is hard to act in a low manner. It's not that you are afraid, but that you'd feel ashamed. Republicans seem immune from feeling ashamed of their behavior.

You can't always be the one taking the high road. The GOP are bunch of bullies and only way to beat a bully is to stand up to them.

I don't want the Democrats to work with Republicans on more tax cuts for the rich, gutting regulations, weakening unions, and destroying the environment.

In the words of Winston Churchill, "We shall fight them on the beaches, we shall fight them in the hills, and we shall NEVER SURRENDER." THAT is what I expect from an opposition party!

I get worthless liberals telling me that, since I feel the bern, I am disgracing him and what he wants, to which I tell them as quickly as possible to "go forth and multiple by themselves," only in much different language.

Or, I get even more worthless conservatives who claim I am just another angry liberal, to which I ask how many liberals at Trump rallies beat up people with disagreements. Then I tell them to find a the edge a cliff and then take one more step.

Fuck this. . .gloves off forever. I'm tired of wimpy, useless liberals. Stand up and fight. No more polite. Those fuckers on the otherside aren't.

I hated that shit "when they go low, we go high." Bullshit. . .you go high, you talk over the heads of the asshole common man or you get the legs chopped out from under you. Either way, you lose elections.

FUCKING FIGHT!!!

the message from this election is that it does not work (though we did win the popular vote). Still, it is obvious they cannot call anyone out on that kind of behavior.

Democrats place way too much emphasis on "being above all that." There is no sense in playing by a rule book the republicans threw away, decades ago.

Rude Pundit has it right: if there was convincing evidence that Hillary Clinton had prevailed in this election with the help of Russian interference, this country would be shut down, right now.

I've been trying to say this for freakin' years only to have my words fall on deaf ears. I've been calling for a street fight because the only things repigs understand are force, dirty fighting, and their own medicine being shoved right back in their faces.

Repunks think politeness and kindness are signs of weakness, but back down when we stand up to them the way Howard Dean and James Carville did in the past. I might not agree with their ideology, but their "no more Mr. Nice Guy strategy and tactics work.
