(62,325 posts)Why do you think all those people came out in 2008 to throw Republicans OUT? Were they told that 'we will have to play their game even if we win because caving to bullies is the best way to run the country'? Do you SERIOUSLY think that if the people were told THAT, Dems would have won?
What I am saying is that it's way past time that Democrats started acting like the won WHEN they win. If you think there is something wrong with that, then how are going to ask people to vote for Dems so that WHEN they win they can cater to Bullies?
Those days are over. We tried it, it failed, now it's time to move on and do it the right way. When we win, we push our agenda, that is the ONLY reason why people vote.
What is your idea of winning? Republicans ARE uncompromising when they win. Take a lesson from, it's not rocket science, it is how it IS normally. Only Third Wayers seem to believe that when Dems win, they should cater to the losers. What kind of nonsense is that?
Like most Americans, I am not especially interested in politicians on a personal level. I am a Democrat because that is the Party that most represents my political views. I support politicians to do a job, not to become part of my inner circle. If they do the job they promised to the best of their ability, that is all we ask of them. Other than that, I have a family and friends who mean a whole lot more to me than any politician. Like most Americans. Few are going to support anything that directly affects the lives of their loved ones. Such as SS eg. And that is a fact.
