We all need to grow a spine

[Der Blaue Engel]

There are some here who constantly accuse Democrats of not having a spine. But what I've witnessed in the last week and a half on DU is just embarrassing. The GOP has us jumping at shadows, doing their dirty work for them. We do not need to shut up or apologize for speaking truth to power, questioning the criminal policies of our administration, or demanding equal rights for all citizens.

It is far too late for any wedge issue to suddenly derail the entire election. We are either winning or we are not. It is my considered opinion based on all evidence I've seen that we will win and win big. The only way that doesn't happen is pure, unmitigated fraud.

So what's it going to be? Shall we give them hell or cower while they laugh?

editor's note: there will be at least one typo in every Der Blaue Engel post. I are a copy editor.

1. I say, Give 'em HELL!

At least swing the bat!!!! Go down swinging not cowering!

3. Fuck 'em. We're gonna kick their asses.

There are a few diehard wussies who keep popping up, moaning and wringing their hands, but they usually crawl back under the floorboards after they wet the floor with their tears of anguish. They impress nobody, and nobody listens to them.

Fuck 'em.

We're taking our country back next week. We HAVE TO. It's our last chance to save America from fascism.

4. Are you sure they aren't "Stay at Home Operatives" doing their

minumum wage disrupting? Or stupid trolls who do it for free? Seems to me that a shitload of people who post "Sky is falling" and "Woe is us" horseshit are people I've never seen in these parts before. Then, all of a sudden they show up, FULL of concern. Gotta wonder....

6. I'm not going to speculate

Some posts speak for themselves. :)

5. And I should have added, even if it did cost us votes

we should not pander to bigots and bullies to curry their favor.

7. You are so right about that. Pandering doesn't get us anywhere.

We've seen that, and it's time to stop.
