This, IMO, is why Democrats don't accomplish their objectives, despite getting a majority of the vote. They need to play hardball.
I've advocated for democrats to play by the same rules as republicans for years, plus democrats are weak when negotiating with republicans. give the party of uncompromising fascists some of their own medicine and then end run the political relics of tyranny that stand in the way of effecting the changes that the majority of americans want. my first targets would be the wealthy, corporate, and religious groups that benefit most from the radical right.
Yes, "They go low; we go high" sounds nice and civilized, but it has hobbled the Dems, and hurt the majority.
and it is STUPID !
The majority has been getting shafted by the GOP far longer than they should have been, or was ever required.
The Republicans' have proven (without doubt) that they are the preferred Party for the wealthy, big pHarmy, Oil Companies( yep, one of trailer park valedictorian Trumps' favorites), The Military Industrial Complex, Russia's' Putin,, lil' Kim, Xio, & far too many other lowlifes to mention. nd all as they attempt to co-mingle church and State, a place i hate , while effectively dumbing down our country and it's Republican Constituents.
Changing the rules for when it bests works for they, to not allow a vacancy filled in the Court, oh so non Supremeslip , then totally not obliging by their stated ways when it's their turn.
They play hardball, why the Dems seem to play with themselves.
This submissive passive bull ship, is what has this country sinkin faster than the Russian Navy in the Black and Blue See nothing makes a mountain, of supposedly mental misfits, till fits taken the next size down
The Far Right and Fox pushing BS 24/7 leaves US just a little South of Heaven, in the parking lot of a nasty 7/11 eghteen hours a day and WaWa'n about it all the Fckn weigh down they due US, so lets get that bus, rolling, right over they, The American Way !
First of all, in the 3 and a half years of the Biden presidency every wet dream the far left ever had was accomplished.
As far as who goes high and who goes low, you seem to have once again forgotten what President Trump did as President.
A top Donald Trump transition adviser, Kellyanne Conway, said Tuesday that the president-elect would not honor his pledge to have his Justice Department go after Hillary Clinton.
“I think when the president-elect … tells you before he’s even inaugurated that he doesn’t wish to pursue these charges, it sends a very strong message” to congressional Republicans, Conway said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
Trump won’t try to prosecute Clinton after all, aide says (yahoo.com)
He never did go after her. James Comey ran a sham investigation in which the person who destroyed the tapes under subpoena for her got immunity. Comey then refused to bring charges, which wasn't even his call to do.
In every election since & including the 2016 election it has been the democrats who have gone low and real low.
Sure, Vic. The far left has been fighting for restrictive, life-threatening abortion bans for years now.
What a completely ridiculous claim.
The former 'president' didn't do dick - only things that benefitted himself and his rich benefactors.
Prosecute her for WHAT?
Fuck Comey
If you read the pronouncements being made by our rightwing MAGAs lately out loud they sound completely bonkers...
I will truly enjoy watching maga politicians getting sucked into the anti-choice whirlpool their thumper allies have created for them in the 2024 election cycle. swim with the current rwnj xtian nationalists! stroke! stroke!
trump probably did a lot more, but those are just off the top my head...
Trump has promised to address racism against white people if he gets back in power, so all the things you just listed dont matter.
Abortion is a state issue.
Maybe if Biden gets a second term, he can suspend the Constitution entirely and ram abortion on demand down everyone's throat.
With bans allowed by a change in SCOTUS. Your claim is still ridiculous.
I promise you that nobody will be forced to have an abortion on demand by government.
Your hyperbolic rhetoric has been so over the top lately it is becoming humorous...
funny how some trump voters actually think that's possible. I wonder why...
oh wait, never mind ...
As opposed to terminating the Constitution?
[✘]
I foresee lots of insurance coverage increases for trump aligned businesses...
Kind of like the Justice Kavanaugh hearings a few years ago when the Democrats went way low.
... and religious properties.
I wouldn't put that outside the realm of possibility for maga sycophants. they really only want to outlaw abortion for white women, they just can't make that public now ...
We just can't be evil, hateful, dimwitted scum. It's not in us.
Who are you speaking for?
Amen!
posting this the same week Democrats invented a crime to try and imprison the leader of the opposition.
Bravo!
Your refusal to acknowledge the crime does not negate its existence, nor Trump's conviction.
From a certified Trump basher:
Can't go lower than that... NY started with the man and then found the crime to get him. A base perversion of justice.
it's the democrats fault that trump is a criminal, dontcha know...
He committed the crime, Sean (actually, crimes). He committed them to further another crime. Trump is unusually criminal, and that's not the DA's fault.
You know, it strikes me that your objection isn't that you think he's innocent. You don't even try to deny that he's a criminal. You just object to the way in which he got caught.
Why is that?
The FEC, the subject matter experts, investigated and had no issue with his actions. NDA's aren't illegal. Not wanting to talk about things that make you look bad isn't illegal.
I believe the law should be applied equally to all people. When Hillary Clinton pays a foreign spy to create a fake story about Trump (talk about going low) and then illegally, per the FEC, falsely reports it as "legal expenses" and isn't charged with the same "crimes," it stinks to high hell.
Do you think the District Attorney's job is start with a crime and try to solve it or start with a person and try and find a crime to pin on them? Because the DA obviously started with Trump and looked for a crime, bringing Beria's maxim to America.
As I've said, anyone who reads the New Yorker piece and isn't troubled by the prosecution's methods has no claim on being an actual liberal or supporting the rule of law, they are just partisan who embrace the authoritarian tactic of charging opposition leaders with "crimes" that only apply to the opposition leader.
Nobody said NDAs are illegal. Straw man. Falsifying business records is illegal. You DO know that was the charge, right?
There's more than one charge.
Why don't you explain the charges for me? We are now two days after the trial,
[✘] If you can do that, you will understand why my point about NDAs is relevant.
I'm on my phone, and won't be typing that much, but fortunately for you, this has already been covered in another article here. If you choose to either ignore or misunderstand it (again), that's on you.
Lol. I can explain them and have. Sadly, as we've seen, people can read that link and still not understand what happened. So what's the second crime he supposedly committed?
Again, this has been provided to you, and you have chosen to ignore it:
Trump conspired to promote his own election (and prevent the election of his opponents) by illegal means (falsifying business records).
Now, as this has been explained to you ad nauseum, further demands for the same information will be deleted as trolling.
gain, this has been provided to you, and you have chosen to ignore it
[✘] What a [✘] great week.
The prosecution's theory has been misrepresented by progressives for weeks on end.
First, they falsely claimed the second crime was identified in the indictment despite having the indictment posted dozens of times.
I and others, have spent weeks pointing that out.
Then they identified the wrong crime as the second crime.
Again, the correct allegation was pointed out numerous times,only to be ignored. (
Finally, days after the trial, after an own goal is scored by one of their own proving me right, I get accused of "ignoring" the correct crime. It's farce.
That it's taken weeks for progressives here to finally identify the second specific crime Trump was charged with shows just how ludicrous amd "low" this prosecution is. The leading candidate for President charged by a partisan prosecutor in front of a partisan judge under a theory that was so obscure their own side couldn't even get it right until days after the trial. A perfect example of my point that this exemplifies the authoritarian tactic of charging opposition leaders with "crimes" that only apply to the opposition leader.
When you can produce a Dem candidate who has committed the same crimes, let us know.
Calling out trolling isn’t gaslighting. Repeated demands for information that has already been provided is.
Now that the precedent has been set, just wait...
I already did, Hillary Clinton.
You claim to have done. Not the same thing.
[✘]
You need it explained, again? I'll let someone else do it.
In 2016, Hillary Clinton’s campaign was fined $8,000 for violating federal campaign finance laws. Why? Her team falsely reported the funding of the Steele Dossier as “legal services” and “legal and compliance consulting.” Actually this “opposition research” was an attempt to smear her opponent with false and salacious allegations. Obviously, it was also intended to influence the 2016 election. Moreover, Hillary’s campaign was headquartered in New York State (out of Brooklyn, NY), which would make it fall under the jurisdiction of New York Penal Law §175.10, the state law which makes it a felony to falsify business records with the intent to conceal the commission of a crime. What is the key distinction between Hillary’s campaign violation versus recent news? With Hillary’s violation, there wasn’t a Manhattan prosecutor politically motivated to bring an unprecedented case to trial.
The only difference is Hillary actually committed a federal election crime. Donald trump didnt, despite the judge allowing cohen to tell the jury he did
Then there may be grounds to prosecute Hillary. You should get on that.
Trump has committed 34 of which he's been convicted, to date. More trials to come, so it's not looking good for him.
Did you not understand what I wrote? Otherwise it seems like you are deliberately it taking out of context…..
I said there may be grounds to prosecute Hillary. Is that not what you've been arguing? Do you disagree with yourself now?
Or is this about my response to your statement, which you edited after I replied, as shown by my quotation of your response?
You originally claimed
Implying that Trump didn't, and it was that comment to which I replied. I see you have edited your comment to backpedal, because you can't truthfully say or imply that Trump didn't commit a crime. I understand what you wrote, and that you backpedaled and re-wrote it.

Never charged with a crime....not so much as a parking ticket, after 24 years of right wing witch hunt investigations.
all that rwnj jerking off with nothing to show for it, just like their hunter biden crusade. I guess that's what effective government looks like to knuckle dragging morons that fall over each other to vote against their best interests.
The best part is watching them twist themselves into knots trying to explain why trump isn't guilty of anything with 91 charges, but Hillary is guilty of everything with no charges at all.
they can accept gullible and ignorant, but draw the line on wrong...
I find it hilarious that maga is screaming election interference about the trial, while the trial was about some jerk-off autocrat that paid off a porn star to keep the news of their affair quiet, because it would obviously alter the election results desired if the story got out.
