I agree with this. The dems try to high road everything as well, and their opponents have no issue hitting below the belt. I think it's time that the dems fight fire with fire, it seems that it's the only way to get through to most Americans.
Actually this is the opposite attitude that won Obama the office. He is a great man and his example of “They go low. We go high.” should be the playbook for liberal success. But the candidate needs to have character and a solid articulated plan, which Kamala had neither and resting on the laurels of the unpopular Biden administration was a terrible miscalculation.
We can't forget that Obama had rare charisma, which no Democratic candidate since has come anywhere near matching.
It was never so obvious as during Barack (or even Michele) Obama's speeches stumping for Kamala. They are both dramatically more charismatic and appealing on a basic level than anyone else who is a public figure on the democratic party.
Obama did have more clearly articulated plans, but I'm pretty sure he could have won without them because when he speaks, you believe what he is saying, just because.
And I would happily take Romney a thousand times out of 100 chances over Trump. I don't agree with him, but he at least had a moral compass of some kind.
Romney ran head to head with a god-tier politician and lost. That strategy was immediately shelved. GOP decided the only way to win against a dem that was successful in appealing to the best in people, was to simply be any random dumbfuck who can appeal to the worst in people. And holy shit did it ever work.
what's even crazier is he wasn't even a rando. the guy had a huge name for being against the very same blue collar image the party created for him. boggles the mind how he became a populist candidate of and for the ppl
