2. K&R...

3. Sorry, Mike. SMART Dems fight the fight however it is to win their district/state voters.

Fight the fight to win this November or lose for the next 20 years. Mr. Fallon and Mr. Avenatti evidently have no idea how to win in every district/state of the country. My words will likely piss off some on here, but to call Dems "pathetic" is an attack on all Dems that do not align in thinking to what you, and your groups, think.

5. Lose what, exactly, for the next 20 years?

these are lifetime appointments, are they not? and the judicial branch is a co-equal branch of government?

[tonyt53]

11. Elections. The legislative branch is supposed to make laws, the judicial validate those laws.

If laws are properly made, there is no debate/challenge to reach the judicial branch. People had better run for their district/state and not worry about how someone else is running theirs in another district/state. Bashing Dems and standing back and saying nothing is playing right into the GOP plans. Is that so hard to comprehend?

[shanny]

12. lol on the idea that Rump/GOPee judges will only overturn laws if they are not "properly made."

That assumption is frankly preposterous and I find it hard to comprehend that anyone would make it. Rump/GOPee judges will overturn any law they don't like. They don't need precedent or facts or anything but their only ideology; it's what they do. Duh.

[tonyt53]

13. Yep. Go ahead and plan and execute the same campaign in every national district/state.

Recipe for losing. There is only ONE way to stop this all and that is to win in November. If you can't comprehend that, then you'll never get it. Duh.

[shanny]

17. The way to win in November is to show that electing Democrats

will make a fucking difference. And the way to do that is not to start by lying down on the tracks while the train runs over you. That's how we got in this fucking mess to begin with...or are you one of those silly creatures who thinks Rump is the problem?

[G_j]

24. amen nt

[tonyt53]

31. My, oh my, you have no idea, do you? Absolutely no idea.

You'll follow anybody with name recognition, caring none if they can "put up or shut up". I know what the problem is, and that is people such as yourself. If you think Democrats are to blame, then you have no idea and never will.

[shanny]

33. lol, dude

1000+ lost state legislature seats, pukes control 33 governorships, the House, the Senate and the White House, OH! and now the judiciary!--for a generation!...and I'm the one who knows nothing

it would be hilarious if it weren't so pathetic

4. Fighting fire with fire destroys everything.

[Pachamama]

6. Not a good analogy- because it is often the method needed

It’s called using a controlled burn - so that’s what is needed from Dems and what Avenatti is saying ....

18. +1

[Thekaspervote]

10. Agree! In my professional and private life every time I tried to work outside the system, it failed

Sometimes spectacularly, others just didn’t work so well.

[shanny]

19. lol

the system is just humming along like a finely-tuned machine

[LanternWaste]

32. No one is arguing as such.

"the system is just humming along like a finely-tuned machine..."
No one is arguing as such.

The arguments, I believe, are simply against the absurd "burn it all down" sentiment which wholly ignores consequence in favor of immediate satisfaction of passion.

The burn-it-all-down sentiment being, by both its very nature and its definition, irrational.

[DinahMoeHum]

7. Your concern is noted, Mike.

[pangaia]

8. My concern, also.

[LakeArenal]

9. Me, too.

[shanny]

26. And mine.

[a kennedy]

14. oh my.......some here wanted him for PRESIDENT!!!!!!

or did I read that wrong.

[shanny]

20. omg how HORRIBLE would it be to have a fighter in that office

the mind boggles at the very idea

[a kennedy]

22. It would be horrible, kinda like the orange blob that's in there now....

HE HAS NO IDEA OF HOW THE GOVERNMENT WORKS........just like the orange blob in our house now!!!!!

[shanny]

25. lol

You don't think Avenatti is smarter than Dump? um, OK

[fallout87]

15. This guy is an opportunist

of epic proportions. Everything he does, he does to benefit himself. Now he's attacking Democrats.

[bigtree]

16. Avenatti hasn't yet proved himself

...to be a competent or reliable Democrat.

Hell, he hasn't even resolved the case which brought him into the limelight.

I appreciate what he does, short of stomping all over the Democratic party.

[shanny]

21. um, there was a stay in the case, icymi

Personally, I have no problem with the results so far.

[milestogo]

23. Well, he isn't the first person to say this.

[pretzel4gore]

28. The best lack all conviction, while the worst

are FULL of passionate intensity!
I believe it was the saintly Che (Guerara) who said that...

[dembotoz]

29. So is his message correct??? Attack the messenger IS easier

[treestar]

30. I wish people would quit with this when you are a minority

you can't overcome that with "fight." Elections, people, we have to win them.
