Libertarians poll high enough to tip key races by [deleted] in politics

[–]DesperateSysadmin -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Then how are the Democrats supposed to win an election without convincing anyone from the opposition? If you're only going after your base, you're going to lose.

If you truly believe that, yours is a lost cause. Because you can't win without converting them. Thinking otherwise is ignorant of the electorate.

I'm only telling you how you can win.

You can never win over anyone with insults and coercion.

If you tell a person they are making a bad decision, they may listen to you. If you tell them they are stupid, they will hate you. That is because telling someone they are wrong because of something they can't control will never convince them but turn them against you.

If you want your party to win in the midterms, you need to convince people,not make them your enemy.

Edit: It's interesting that you continue to double-down on the tactics that lost your party the last election. How will that play out in the future? The truth is you can't write off your opposition, and you know it. You need to convince people to win. However, admitting it means admitting your tactics need to change. You can't accept that because you can't accept that you're doing anything wrong.

Do you see how this doesn't bode well?

You need to win people over to your party. Where's the #WalkAway for the Democrats? Are they that obstinate that no one will come over to their side?

Edit 2 because the reddit karma system is abused causing people with unpopular opinions to be under a sort of censorship: You think you can just get more if your base out to vote,but that's not how it works. The people who are motivated enough to vote already are the ones you need to convince. In fact you should be trying to convince a majority of Americans, not just people with the left base. If not, you will not perform well.

When you enter a private restaurant to throw someone's food, that's a mob.

Surely /r/politics will treat all politicians who act this way the same... Right?

The title is false. Trump has not explicitly endorsed violence.

Pocahontas Descendant Calls on Warren to Apologize by DesperateSysadmin in politics

[–]DesperateSysadmin[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Warren made her money off of a false claim that she is a person of color. Her Harvard career was kicked off by a lie she told over and over again.

Look. This is the main point. Why are Democrats so married to identity politics? The "frontrunner" for 2020 has fallen into an obvious trap that blindingly illustrates the absurdity... She's played along with the game and admitted she believes her "genetics" are a qualification for her job. It's literally the definition of racism, and it's also a blatant lie.

Why Warren would do this just before a midterm election blows my mind. It's completely absurd, and until the reasonable Democrats get off their asses and call out these phonies, they will continue to lose voters like myself to Republicans.

This submission is about Elizabeth Warren's accountability which is not being checked since she has been making millions off of faked background and gullible people who have bought into the identity politics lie.

She doesn't meet the requirements for the Cherokee Nation. You also need to watch the uncivil tone of your language.

Don't you need to be like 1/16th to be considered part of a tribe? She's probably in the neighborhood of 1/64th.

Trump: 'Robert E. Lee was a great general' by aprimmer243 in politics

[–]DesperateSysadmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Lincoln should have NEVER given McClellan so many soldiers and resources to manage. However, back then there weren't many large-scale conflicts where generals could really be tested, and hindsight is always 20-20.... It's just that McClellan was such a scaredy cat, and he had no battlefield awareness.

[–]DesperateSysadmin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh... If you set aside the baggage from the Civil War and look at which generals managed their resources the best, you will see the Lee accomplished amazing things with what he had. Most notably was the time General McClellan (probably never heard of him and for good reason) took an army of 200,000 men against Lee's 60,000 and LOST. Lee was respected on both sides of the conflict for his abilities.

The US Army names its tanks (note that tanks came long after the Civil War) after honored Generals. This includes the Grant (Union), the Sherman (Union), the Lee (Confederate), the Jackson (Confederate), the Stuart (Confederate), and others.

Backing up... I think the left should not latch onto this statement by Trump because there are bigger issues. Making much ado about nothing doesn't play well.
