Democrats: STOP playing by Marquess of Queenberry rules!

[choie]

Now is the time to act! Senator Durbin et al are deluded to think they have partners that they can work with. Get some cajones, become radical and get things done before the end of the year!

[Irish_Dem]

1. The amount of Trump ass kissing is making me nauseous.

And scaring me even more because it means they must know it is going to be really bad.

[onenote]

2. Tell us some things they should do that you think they can do.

[choie]

3. You just need to read some of Robert Reich's suggestions:

4. Isn't the boss overseas?

Where is our President?

[Elessar Zappa]

5. They should fill as many judicial vacancies as possible in the next two months.

[Number9Dream]

25. In 4 years, they didn't get rid of Louis DeJoy... good luck

[NotHardly]

6. THIS

[TheKentuckian]

7. That fool needed to be run out on a rail when he brought back the insane blue slips.

The hidebound are almost as dangerous as the enemy that they stupidly think are their friends.

[Katcat]

8. Sometimes

I just want to curl up 8n my bed with the covers over my head

[SleeplessinSoCal]

19. That's my Thanksgiving plan.

[AZLD4Candidate]

9. I've said this many times here on DU to use their playbook against them only to get flamed with

That makes us no better than them and we're better than that.

[Meowmee]

11. At this point it doesn't matter who is better imo

Just fight back. I very much disagree that anything could EVER make us and people who support democracy "no better" than those who are destroying it.

[HighFired49]

14. I seem to remember

an old saying of "Fight fire with fire".

[AZLD4Candidate]

15. The movie the Untouchables: "if they bring a knife, you bring a gun. They put on of yours in the hospital, you put one

of theirs in the morgue."

[paleotn]

18. An old saying because it works.

[meow2u3]

17. I'm sick of having to be the bigger person, only to have it thrown back in my face

I strongly disagree with you. We're not in normal times, nor are we dealing with normal repukes.

We're dealing with opponents who have no qualms about cheating to get their own way. "Lowering ourselves" is the only way to deal with sociopathic bullies. We have no choice but to hit the bullies back.

[paleotn]

21. Agreed! They can be all holier than thou....

in a gulag somewhere. It's time to go find FDR and LBJ's political brass knuckles, dust them off, and start using them. We didn't use to be this way. In my mind, the kumbaya wing needs to step aside and let patriots do what needs to be done.

[Pmc1962]

10. R's play hardball, D's play wiffleball.

We’ve got to pick up our game.

[Paladin]

12. Amen, Amen, AMEN!

I have been screaming about this for decades. We have got to stop being hindered by a set of rules that our opposition discarded years and years ago. Our freedoms and our very lives are at stake, now. Let's play dirty and re-take our country---read up on the history of Germany in the 1930's if you need a refresher on what the alternative is---because that's exactly where we are, now.

[edbermac]

13. To quote from the Untouchables:

They bring a knife to a gun fight.

[BigMin28]

27. Everytime

nt

[BlueTsunami2018]

16. The time for that was thirty years ago.

And more.

But we “don’t want to be like them” and “we’d rather lose than cheat”.

And look where that’s gotten us. With necks about to be firmly under boot.

[live love laugh]

20. Durbin is no longer reliable. I've posted several times about his backing

Chicago’s MAGA mayoral candidate last election.

[paleotn]

22. Oh! But we can't be inflammatory! We must be nice! We must go "high".

Bullshit!!! Sorry, Dick, but no. When they go low, we bury the mother fuckers! This is the kind of rhetoric and leadership we need. Got to get the mojo back. It's ours. Not there's. We use to be damn good at it. We need to be good at it again.

FDR...."they are unanimous in their hatred for me and I welcome their hatred!" Fearless!

[elocs]

23. I've posted that before and was about to post it again. Apparently Biden and most Democrats

are faced with a maga cult opponent using street fighting tactics where everything and anything goes prefer to fight a battle using Marquess of Queensbury rules as long as they look righteous and noble doing it even if they lose our democracy in the process.
This has to make Trump and his minions laugh at what fools these Democrats are.

[Seeking Serenity]

24. Agreed! Just black bag TFG, Tulsi, RFK, Gaetz.

The CIA used to know how to do that.

[Jeebo]

26. This reminds me of my post just a few minutes ago ...

Here's a link:

To sum up what I said, we need a Joseph Welch-Joe McCarthy moment. "Have you no sense of DECENCY, sir?" Not just one of those moments, but lots of them.

29. Tsf's mentor

Roy Cohn would be aghast at him sucking up to Putin. He was Sen Mccarthy's right hand then. It was his dirty tricks that brought about that question.

[GoreWon2000]

28. Dems have been playing dead since 2000

Not 1 Senate dem could bring themselves to co-sponsor the Congressional Black Caucus's challenge to the fraudulent Florida 2000 vote count. Then DNC chair Ed Rendell publicly urged Al Gore to give up his fight to have the uncounted Florida votes counted. This summer, the dem elites chased Biden out of the 2024 race by disenfranchising 14 million dem party primary voters. Joy Reid showed a poll yesterday that showed that 68% of Americans have given up on democracy. No kidding. People are tired of watching their votes get thrown out. The dems claim to be the party that supports voting rights but when voting rights were really on the line, they hid like cowards. I'm sorry this is such a tough post but now is the time to face this ugly reality and these ugly truths.

30. They are the Beta bottom boys to

MAGAt Republicans.

[bullimiami]

31. I agree.

[H2O Man]

33. Recommended.

As a former boxer, and then trainer, I agree. I never purposely fouled an opponent as a rule. But if they purposely fouled me, they were in for a brutal surprise. I knew exactly how to inflict painful injuries with fouls.

[DSandra]

34. Weakness is Treason

Especially when our elected representatives that swore an oath to the constitution are like that and fail us.
