(56 posts)I tried to warn about this even back in 2016
We cannot tolerate ANY dissention in the ranks. Lead, Follow or get the fuck out of the way. This not the time for Festivus of Airing of Democratic Grievances
The SuperPower of the Right is that they take to the Internet like a mob. They do not wait for politicians to lead them....they do not allow their rank and file to criticize them....they decide the issues that they want to pay attention to....
The Right take to the Internet like a crazed horde and spread it far and wide. Repeating the same meassages over and over. Forcing their political leaders to respond to them
They do not limit their posts to "just their friends" and they repeat, repeat repeat everywhere. They do not fear that we will reply to their posts. When we do ...they attack them en masses. They do not just stand by and allow 2 people to just joust it out....they jump in and crowd them out....they gang up.
The point is.....the people we need to get off their asses to vote. Don't vote based on issues. They are people who try like hell to avoid Politics because it makes them uncomfortable. They don't like to be forced to choose a side ...
So what motivates them.....is the need to be on the side that wins. So they vote "perception". They vote on who looks like they are winning. When the MAGAHorde is attacking everywhere .....and we aren't strongly fighting back....they perceive that as "losing" because thats all they have. They don't even know what the issues are much less which side is which issue.
THEY are the target to win....MAGA are not going to be convinced....and neither will certain voters who are on our side. We cannot allow that on-side quibbling....BECAUSE it makes us all look like losers....and that drives that target demographic that finds politics "icky" away. If you have bones to pick with Democrats....now is the worst time to air them.....that time is over for now. ..for our own sakes. It's shit or get off the pot time.
