    Thought this might be of interest to BOTH sides. For those unwilling to download and/or read the guide here is a link to Rachel Maddow’s show where this plan was discussed



    Interesting plan he lays out to defeat Republican representatives but the BEST bit? It is also holding those representatives accountable

    If you find yourself actually debating a MAGA, then your problem is you treat them like they are worth debating.

    Then shits all over the board.
    Then struts around like it won.”

    I have to agree but this is also about debating conspiracy thinkers

    What is making me smile is this is quite clever plan to win back the house in 2024 but because it was realised on the Rachel Maddow show no Republican will see it :p

    It's the Rachel Maddow show. I wasn't aware that anyone watched that.

    The dead-ender magaloot fantasists who are still befouling the GOP will be dealt with by the GOP:

    Reaction to Tucky "I hate Trump" the Entertainer's fractured fairytale may mark their existential need to Dump the Trump:

    Some Republicans in Congress treated Carlson’s presentation with the scorn it deserved. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell associated himself with a statement by Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger complaining that Carlson’s presentation “conveniently cherry-picked from the calmer moments of our 41,000 hours of video.”

    Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) was pithier in his comment: “I was here. I saw what happened. I saw the violence. And you know, I thought it was an insurrection at that time. I still think it was an insurrection today.”


    Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) called the Carlson version of Jan. 6 “bullshit.”

    https://news.yahoo.com/editorial-gop-must-acknowledge-trump-110043338.html
    Even wimpy little 'Throttlebottom' Pence is now willing to provoke a tantrump:

    "I had no right to overturn the election, and his reckless words endangered my family and everyone at the Capitol that day, and I know that history will hold Donald Trump accountable."

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...-accountable-for-jan-6-pence-says/ar-AA18w00w
    The Loser's mewling that he would pardon the anti-American goons he loves will further Republicans' resolve to fumigate their Party.

    IMO, she is quite charismatic. But also, her body language tells me she doesn’t even buy what she is selling most of the time either!

    I never really watched her show in its entirety (I've only seen clips of her show on discussion boards) but I got the impression she's the left's version of Tucker Carlson.

    I think she is in it for the paycheck, and quite possibly tired of being a standard bearer for hating on Trump when she is alphabet.
    It has to get tiring operating at that level of vindictiveness then having to live in the real world. Keith Oberman is about the only one I know of who can.

    Like attempting any sort of debate with a far leftist progressive is any better?

    They're the most indoctrinated people on the planet

    We shouldn't be treating any extremists with respect, no matter what their opinions are.

    Keith Oberman. I haven't heard that name in awhile. I'd take ten of Maddow over him.

    It's REALLY hard to know where this phrase was first coined, but this is the first use of it my limited research can find

    SNIP
    The former official said he doesn't think Trump is playing "the sort of three-dimensional chess people ascribe to decisions like this. More often than not he's just eating the pieces."
    ENDSNIP

    If anybody can find it in use prior to May 2018, let me know where and when.

    A practical solution

    Put the fence around Oregon.

    Everyone who does not want America to be great can move there.

    Problem solved.

    With everything that has happened, I can understand why the new term for "conspiracy" is "spoiler".

    I'm no extremist.

    I'm a communist, but i don't think I need to do anything to make it happen. It will happen when it's time.

    Hmmmm 20 replies and it seems only one person read the actual report. I didn’t add in the link because it was so well described and easy to find plus Maddow had discussed it so well with her guest but here it is

    https://indivisible.org/sites/defau...le_ A Practical Guide to Defeating MAGA_0.pdf

    in essence what “Indivisible” will do is concentrate on the 16 districts who currently have a Republican representative but who voted for Biden
    With Boebert and Greene Role 1 is looking dead easy - just sit back and let them open their mouths

    And the whole exercise is still just as dumb as when you first brought it up. Great, they're going to concentrate on 16 districts. In the same manner that every election strategist focuses their efforts since the dawn of time. Yeah, pure genius.

    What a bunch of morons.

    Beats the republican plan of “just say “woke” and scram about drag queens and Hunter Biden’s Laptop”

    BTW - how is that turning out for everyone?
