Please tell me Democrats; WHAT EXACTLY IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR?

[usonian]

1. Fear and hate draw a bigger response in people than positivity. It's just the old brain at work.

Our culture is built around blaming others and opposing them.

So, the GOP goes on the attack against anything that will get an emotional response, certainly not a logical one, since their platform ensures that everyone will lose pretty badly who isn’t a billionaire. And what’s more powerful (sad to say) than racism and misogyny?

I have proposed that Democrats choose a target, say Putin or some policy (welfare for the rich, for example) and hammer on it.

Too much positivity! Can you imagine that?

The campaign of Lyndon Johnson against Goldwater was forceful, and what we have fought is infinitely more extreme. Of course, I can say that in hindsight, but many of us wanted some apocalyptic messaging because apocalypse was at stake. Credit the campaign for an incredible job with little time to get out the message and tune it to what may have worked better, against the monstrous forces of racism misogyny and so many others ( I’ve spelled them out in my posts).

You cannot change hearts and minds of bigots and nazi symps. But you can overpower them.
Just a suggestion.
Looking for the time machine.
