(3,496 posts)Theyre ruthless and cutthroat and yes, they cheat. We should be twice as ruthless, cutthroat and underhanded. Because regardless of how they get it, they have the power to shape the country and theyll always have it if we keep pretending the rules and honor matter. They dont. Power is all that matters and right now we have none.
They steal one vote? We steal three. Thats how we should approach this.

(2,275 posts)Otherwise we would be Republicans.
We just have to stop being afraid of calling THEM criminals.
And we have to STOP FORGETTING they have RUINED the economy since Hoover and the Democrats have FIXED IT by flowing resources back into the majority's hands and into vital infrastructure.
The message is a no-brainer so we don't have to lie like Republicans:
DEMOCRATS ARE THE ONLY PARTY THAT'S BY THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE.
THE REPUBLICANS DIVIDE AMERICANS FROM EACH OTHER SO THAT AN OVERPAID MINORITY CAN RULE
(Note: when Dems start to seem too much like Republicans and start cheating and start catering to Wall Street, they lose votes)

(9,090 posts)real reason the medievil cons have any chance and are still relevant
they get away with cheating because they sell it and the pretext for it.
like using 1500 radio stations to attack and lie about immigrants to pass voter suppression laws
fix talk radio and the cheating can be fixed
