We can b*tch all we want, but the Left knows how to harass, fight, and win. If we don't start cutting their throats like chickens needing slaughter, we're done.
You're right, of course, but the problem is that for the Left, politics is their job and business. For most conservatives, it is a sideline. We are not studied in the art of harassment and fighting in the aim of winning (at all costs).
