Democrats Need to Stop Acting Like Weakling Nerds if They Want to Win Elections

Political messaging is not the same as writing an academic paper. Political messaging should be compared to shutting up a playground bully. The second Democrats figure that out, we’ll actually have a chance at winning.I’m so sick of sniveling Democrats slithering up to a podiums to smirk and say, “Well.. the Republicans are certainly going to be sorry six years from now when they lose an election. They’ll be unhappy then.”Meanwhile, they overlook the fact that the American people are being tortured to death RIGHT F*****G NOW!Every time I turn on a television, I get angrier and angrier. We’re represented by a bunch of coddled millionaires who always had their own private driver and a personal chef who followed them to school.The Republicans had that too, but they are a bunch of bullies. Every time they get behind a podium, they’ve already told their third lie before the Democrat has managed to even notice the first one.The current Republican administration is not only protecting pedophiles, it’s probably handing over billions and billions of taxpayer dollars to them. This is because Republicans hand over billions to their oligarch buddies all the time. The American people are a bunch of suckers. We just continue to work hard on the promise of a reward down the road, and all we ever get is the shaft.I’m sick of it.The Republicans are able to get away with this because they win on the messaging. Even as they’re shoveling over money, they’re screaming, “The Democrats want to fund healthcare for undocumented immigrants.”All the Democrats do is smirk and sigh and push their glasses up their nose.How hard is it for them to scream back, “THAT’S A BLATANT LIE!”You a******s are supposed to be representing us. That means you don’t just sit there and do nothing like a pathetic toad while the Republicans use every platform of the nation to promote a tidal wave of hate speech.Lately, the f*****g Republicans have been blaming the left for their epidemic of political violence. It’s not the left. It’s never the left. The Republicans are the ones putting gun pins on their lapels. They’re the ones who call for political violence. They’re the ones who elect criminals. They’re the ones who protect pedophiles.Yet, the Democrats sit there and let them get away with this.SPEAK!I returned to the US with my immigrant wife in 2009. Every single day that’s passed since that time has been filled with Republicans screaming for violence against immigrants.It’s every single f*****g day! Meanwhile, the a*****e Democrats never say, “Stop inciting violence against innocent people!”WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO SPEAK UP FOR US AND HOLD REPUBLICANS ACCOUNTABLE FOR ALL THE AGONY THEY’VE INFLICTED ON THE INNOCENT?When republicans start screaming about immigrants, they know well that one of their unemployed, flannel clad, ye-haw a******s is going to go forth in a rusty pickup truck and harass an immigrant.They f*****g know this.The Democrats need to say, “YOUR LIES AND YOUR HATE SPEECH ARE GETTING PEOPLE KILLED.”Instead they sit there smirking as if they’re aware that everyone in the world knows that Republicans are full of s**t. I mean, when the f**k are Democrats going to figure out that the Republicans are indoctrinating the whole nation with a hate ideology?They have television stations and radio shows and churches all across the nation screaming hate speech and conditioning the population to indulge in violence against the innocent.That s**t is illegal.The Democrats can’t afford to shrug their shoulders and say “Oh, well.”Every time a Democrat loses an election, he goes back to his mansion and his government funded healthcare. Meanwhile, the rest of us have to die. They can’t even speak up when their opponents start screaming hate speech and lies.What the f**k are they good for?We need a new breed of politician. One that is willing to stand up for what is right. We need politicians who, at the first hint of threating Republican speech that is going to get people killed, are willing to get into a shouting match.Republicans speak lies. Their comments are out of line. They incite violence. Meanwhile, the current crop of Democrats just sits there offering a weak, smug, smirk of defiance.Don’t start in with your “not all” b******t either. Obviously folks like Jasmine Crockett and Alexandria Ocasio Cortez are defending us. I’m talking about the rich establishment a******s with ivy league degrees and expensive suits that rig all the primaries and who only show a spine when it comes to sabotaging the candidates who actually work for us.This “We can’t be like them” b******t has to end.We need fighters who are willing to stand up for justice and truth. Not smug little entitled asshats who meekly allow lies to be screamed in their presence and who assume there will be natural consequences for that.The consequences are paid by the innocent. We need fighters who are willing to protect our kids.Call out the liars. Hold them accountable when people die because of the violence the right incites. Don’t let them tell six more lies before you have a chance to contest the first one. Can’t you see how the Republicans operate? They aren’t there to debate! They want to use every stage to proliferate their hate. It’s time for a generation of politicians who recognizes what’s at stake.At the first lie that will inflict pain on anyone, our candidate has to act as if she’s been stung, she needs to find her voice and scream out, “LIES!” She has to point. She can’t stay silent and allow her opponent continue his b******t.Bullies hurt people. Bullies must be stopped.You can’t smirk and hand in an academic paper, and defeat a bully that way. You have to shout them into silence and show them the door.Give the American people the CHANCE to listen to the truth for a change.You all make this newsletter happen! Thanks for your sponsorship!
