"Democrats don't play on fears, and Democrats lose. This is evident in the culture war being waged in our country from community level on up, be it Mom's for Liberty or the Heritage foundation.
We are at war, period. If you aren't on the offense, if you allow the other to put you on the defense, you will lose., period.

I don't agree that the priority of the Democratic party is to grab power and not govern.
I do think that when they do have power, they are afraid to govern. Afraid to piss off the donor class, afraid to piss off the other side."
Fear is not governance, and bedwetters too afraid to govern offer the same outcome as a group trying to stay in power without governing. A Democratic Party designed by operatives like Perez to serve a ruling wealthy class without any serious platform to communicate what they are FOR on behalf of the governed offers nothing but being against Republican operatives that are doing the same.
Staying committed to that kind of "war" brings no "win" unless you consider the citizens losing as a "win." Yes. Avoiding Trump is an essential battle to win, but it does not bring a "win" to a war of a nation trying to emerge from rule by oligarchy, not democracy. We need a changed system that busts the two cartel party monopoly and replaces it with several parties and proportional representation. Enough living in LaLa land with all its myths created about "the founders."
We need a lot of things Ed. And if wishes were horses and all of that stuff.
But we are forced to deal with the reality that is in our face and we have a stark choice. A fascist theocracy or some semblance of a secular democracy, whether it is genuine or not.
Me I prefer the latter. At least we can work on improving it, but if Trump wins, that's the end of the story...period.

Your choice.
You are now shooting at your own troops, and I am done putting up with it.
Really Ed, what troops am I shooting at?
