Surrender pansies? I know you don’t mean to be rude, Red. But less-than-attractive labels tend to push people away instead of rallying them to your cause.

Yes, there are many pessimistic conservatives these days. That’s not very healthy. But who can really blame them? The last three months have been very, very tough.

We need to get those folks to rally around the flag again. And I’m thinking the best way to do that would be to make persuasive and respectful arguments. It really is the American way.

So when the going gets tough they get a pass? We at in an all out war! Do you know why prospective Seals are put through such an intense initiation process? It is so when they go into battle and the battle waxes hot, they already weeded out all those who would quit, all those who would surrender, all those who would cut + run.

There is certainly truth in what you wrote. My frustration almost singlehandedly comes from my attempt to engage in friendly conversations on this very issue & encountering a rude, insulting & Rambo-esque (as mentioned by others) attitude. It’s like a nihilistic sensibility has taken hold & reality has gone out the window 🤷🏼

Redhead,
1) these posters sound like there’s not a candidate within 40 miles who is worthy of support. Where is this place they live?

Southern Vermont?

2) the reason God makes minor-party candidates is for politicians like Liz Cheney. People proclaiming that they’d refuse to vote for her. (Hint to dummy: you don’t live in Wyoming.)

Cheney & Sasse have made themselves unelectable.

3) defeatists. I think it drives them nuts when they meet someone with a positive attitude
