Dear democrats, you are LOSERS! Shape up!

So, I just had a conversation with someone on a forum who believes that the left is doing a circular firing squad right now and that we need pragmatism and more organization. And my response is basically STFU. The fact is, in order to get somewhere, we gotta actually be bold. Do you think Donald Trump cares one bit about pragmatism? Do you think he knows how to organize a campaign? of course he doesn't. He has the most incompetent yes people in charge, yet he still won. 

The fact is, only democrats care about pragmatism from a political standpoint. They'll get out there any say the most insane #### that comes to mind, and they'll win. Meanwhile, we overthink everything, nothing happens, and we lose because people dont like us. Enough with this.

The fact is, most debates of "pragmatism" come down to weaponized incompetence. its like the democrats dont wanna do something, so they make excuses to not try. And I'm the opposite. TRY. GET OUT THERE. DO IT. Because I believe that if you build the right platform, the people will come. You'll get the donations, you'll get the organizational structure, and things will just come together. I would know because I've seen the tea party do the same thing. When the republicans were in this position in 2008 when Obama won, do you think they just went quietly into the night? Not once did I hear people talk about organization and fund raising and blah blah blah. They said, we need to go back to our roots and rebuild conservatism from the ground up. ANd they did that. And then they won. And yes even if they were insane, John Boehner was still pressured to obstruct and aggressively push an agenda, and they got somewhere, and we didn't. Because when we talk about pragmatism, it's just some nerdy poindexters going on about how we can't do anything because blah blah blah. but voters dont wanna hear that, and when they hear that, they lose. 

The fact is, I believe if you build a platform, the people will come. The resources will come. The talent will come. But only if you actually attract people with a vision. Democrats and their defeatism traps them in a cycle where they can't ever get anywhere, because they refuse to try. And when they refuse to try, they lose weak, they lose enthusiasm, and when they lose enthusiasm, people stay home, they don't donate, they dont get the talent. 

We need an approach that's ideas first, and politically pragmatic concerns second. Again, you think republicans care two craps about any of that stuff? They move heaven and earth to make their vision reality, and then we just fricking hope the best thing we can do is stave them off temporarily and pass a compromise of a compromise of a compromise that no one actually wants. Sick and tired of this. Go out there and try. Go out there and go full stop pushing your ideas and blocking theirs. Fight fire with fire. I'm sick and tired of this defeatist loser talk. We should get mad, get angry, and re embrace our populist instincts.
