The Democrats are Soft
These need to be the top 10 talking points for all Democrats when discussing politics on any level; federal, state or local. Grow a pair Democrats. Stop conceding points and have a back-bone. Be loud, proud and confident in your views of caring about average Americans, not just the mega-rich elites.
- Republicans care only about the rich.
- It’s about clean air and clean water, dummies.
- Republicans need to stop lying.
- Alex Jones
- Workers’ Rights/Higher wages
- Russia/Trump’s Tax Returns
- Voting
- Trump is a sexual predator.
- This feels shady.
- Give emotion, not just facts.
- Republicans care only about the rich. The massive tax cuts proposed go almost entirely to the top tier of American Society. We are giving billions away while cutting support for the elderly and the poor. Republicans support Feudalism.
- It’s about clean air and clean water, dummies. Yes, Global warming is very real, but who in their right mind is against clean air and clean water?
- Republicans need to stop lying. Yes, you did win the election, but many of your claims are outrageous lies. The Republican leadership said nothing about Russia’s interference in hacking and releasing stolen e-mails before the election. President Elect Trump has actually lied under oath hundreds of times. Trump can’t even tell the truth about his height. He is 6 ‘2” and obese, not 6 ‘3” and borderline obese.
- Alex Jones. Any official who quotes Alex Jones is admitting they are ignorant fools who would not know the truth if it bit them in the ass. Sandy Hook was real. Pizzagate. Birthers.
- Workers’ Rights/Higher Wages. Republicans hate workers and unions. Privatization always leads to lower wages for workers. Privatization always leads to higher prices for consumers. The Supreme Court will likely throw out union dues, essentially killing unions when the Supreme Court gets their 9th justice. This was a 4-4 decision in Friedrichs vs. CTA after the death of Justice Scalia. Republicans consistently oppose raising the minimum wage at all , and many want to eliminate it altogether crushing the working poor.
- Russia/Trump’s Tax Returns. Why did Trump ask Russia to hack in late July? We all know that Russia wanted Trump to win. Trump must be forced to release his tax records to prove he has no actual business ties to Putin or other criminal elements of Russia.
7. Voting. The Republicans will always oppose changing the Electoral College because it favors them. However, we can change Election Day voting returns. All absentee ballots should be counted beforehand and released at 8 a.m. on Election day for each state. There should also be a running count, so everyone knows who is ahead. Imagine watching any sport without an available score. If the candidate you dislike is winning, go to the polls and encourage your friends to do so.
8. Trump is a sexual predator. Democrats need to treat Trump as Republicans have tarred Bill Clinton. Trump has told several girls, under 16 that he would date them in a few years. (It’s on tape.) He has bragged about walking in on girls as young as 15 while changing. (It’s on tape) ( Access Hollywood Tape.) Countless other instances.
9. This feels shady. If it feels shady it is shady. Trump University Fraud Settlement. Trump’s non-release of tax returns because he is hiding something? (Questionable business associates/doesn’t give to charity.) Hotel across the street from the White House. (Pay for Play.) Trump has deleted thousands of emails against court orders. Billionaire/Millionaire cabinet picks who hate workers’ rights and want more pollution? Trump has no moral compass.
10. Give emotion, not just facts. Republicans are much better at staying on point of attack than are Democrats. This must change. They must be angry when necessary and call out the lies and bullshit for what they are. Democrats, stop being soft!!
