We've been in propaganda wars ever since we began to communicate.

I think you would be 100% correct in your assessment.

I say politics is a full contact sport, you've got to get down in the dirt with them and don't let them come up for air.

We have been in a propaganda war since Reagan.

Hillary spent all her time trying to defend herself from GOP/Trump smear rather than promoting her own agenda. They will do it again to Biden. Our only true defense is an offense, used in every war, which this will be. Drown Trump in every bit of his own slime, since he is very kind at providing it himself. Quote his lies so often that he loses track of which one he said last. But keep Biden on message and clean. Whatever Trump/GOP accusé Biden of doing, find out when and where Trump did it, because he surely did.

...been wanting to share something that struck me recently ..as to why ‘our side’ so often plays by the rules.. Out-spent, and incapable of funding the full-time propaganda ‘think-tank’ research of our opposition, we’re more often than not dependent on The Courts for justice.

With that, we’ve learned to be sticklers for accuracy… Every detail counts when presenting a case. So we aim for accuracy and purity ‘to win.’ Often, before the right judge, we have. But - we carry that over to the not-so-pure realm of politics - holding our candidates to the same level of ‘accuracy & purity.’ And since they ‘represent’ the people, not only themselves - they must navigate in a different manner..

We’re also educated, often well, thus are aware of the multiple nuances associated with most issues.. My hope for this nation has been it’s ever increasing number of college educated, but if ‘all that knowledge’ keeps them from seeing the forest ..for the trees … it’s going to remain extremely difficult to out-vote an opposition concerned with little more than ‘the three G’s’ (god guns & gays). They are motivated to vote ...as ‘our kind’ appear to throw tantrums over minutiae…

There ya go - Discussion

No More High Road..

When it comes to corruption and other destruction to our government, I'm a mud-slinger from way back...

I think even if we don't sling mud, we can be A LOT more bold and aggressive in our attacks. Hire better ad agencies (Why isn't our stuff as slick as The Lincoln Project's? Have you seen Biden's PR pieces?). We don't have to make things up, do what the right does: hire good detective agencies and research firms. Play hardball.

They go low, we go high …they win.. Holding ourselves to a crippling level of political correctness ..while the vile opposition obviously couldn’t care less who or what they elect to do their dirtywork isn’t working for us. They fight dirty and play hardball politics, we either match it, or reap more of the same.. Where’s that Good Guys finish
