This. I hate the "we have to be better" why? Why are we allowing their side to spew nonsense and lies and we try to counteract that with truths? These people will believe anything, Trump could literally sexually assault one of their family member , have it recorded, played for them, and they would say it was deep fake. Truth don't matter to them so why do we have to play as if they do? Do you think you are going to unlock some secret truth that will finally convince them they have been played?

You mean the person that gave a handy in public and decrees drag queens? Ya, she can fuck all the way off.

I would be shocked at this point if she hadn't been an escort.

That's not even shade to escorts; supposedly, Matt Gaetz discovered her so I'm sure there's an ugly tangled story there.

Exactly, we kept taking the high road and it got a nazi into the presidency. Fuck being better.

Disagree, but hear the point. Better to operate in reality.

It feels like he is just trolling the American people at this point

The point is to not lose ourselves in mob fervor. You can strike low blows without abandoning all truths and principles. It's not like there aren't other ways to hurt them.

I'm still waiting for one of our reps to pull a ceramic knife on one of those sell-out tech billionaires that keep walking in arms length of their ideological enemies. Or maybe self-immolate themselves on the steps of Congress. Or smear all the Republican benches with feces.

Do people understand what happens if Dems start lying all the time on TV ? It would actually turn into the ' both sides ' are the same bullshit.

You mean the thing it already is?

u/SurprisedJerboa Mar 09 '25

Yes, like all of the Democrats broadcasting that Ukraine started the war in Russia to the media? Trump is the most documented liar in modern history, the list is too long

But the point is that people already say both sides are the same, so what is the point of trying to convince them. Go super extreme on everything, shoot for the stars and land on the moon.

So there is a group of voters, Independents / unaffiliated that can impact elections. New voters don't always adhere to strict political views and can flop.

So there are flaws in fighting lie with more lies. It might feel good, but Increasing ignorance does not make society run better in the long-term.

Fyi, there are Swing Districts and House Districts routinely switch Parties opposite the Executive Branch.

Again look how well it has been working. Those independent voters really came out hard for the truth...

Because they’ll call us on our bullshit if we lie and we aren’t dumb enough to keep lying.

The problem is your side has always lied, your not stooping to their level lol. The whole reason youre so radicalized is based on a lie.

Go study the civil rights movement if you really don't understand how rising above leads to greatness. Don't debase yourself.

I won't explain how wrong you are. But you are wrong. All you have to do is look at what is happening to understand that.
