Which message would be preferable?

[kentuck]

A message that continues to divide our country?

Or a message that tries to unite our country?

Do Democrats need to fight back with the same tactics and language used by the Republicans?

Or do they need to present a message that seeks to bring our country together and to unite our people for a common goal?

Can Democrats not do both?

Hit them hard when called for, but strive to contrast and to have a positive message?

Aren't we a better country than what is presently promoted by the Republicans?

1. I agree.

We can do both, with or without the noise machine amplified by media messaging. "both sides do it".

The message does not require any political framing. Americans are better than this and created a Republic that respected the concept of "out of many, we became one"

Quote by Virgil: “E pluribus unum - Out of many , one .” (stolen from the net)

2. Do both!

Take the high road and kick the sh*t out of them in every legal and ethical way while doing it.

This is the ONLY way to deal with bullies.

3. We are not going to unite the country before the next election. We should not be trying

to. Our only job right now is to get them out.

In answer to your question, no we can't do both.

The message we use now should have only one purpose: to get votes from Democrats and Independents and to bring out those who often do not vote and induce them to vote for us.

4. Agreed. Short term and long term.

Long term, we need to enlighten 2 groups:

1. Non-voters
2. White people

Not all of them, just a small additional percentage.

5. We cannot unite the country. Buddha said the three things that prevent enlightenment to happen

to a person are greed, hate and delusion. The three things leading to enlightenment are generosity, empathy and knowledge.

They are not on a path to enlightenment. Many of us are. We need to be on the same path to unite.

They will never change neither will we.

6. Never is a long time, but it might take them eons

and we don't have that kind of time to save the planet. Boy, who knew that we would all have to try and find our inner superwo/man cape and drive back the forces of darkness?
