MTG shows Hunter Biden revenge porn for congress. - Lemmy.world

It blows my mind that this is how far political discourse has fallen. Fuck anyone who supports shit like this.

Unfortunately your crippling yourself if you think you can beat them while maintaining the moral high ground. The unfortunate fact about politics since time inmemorial Is that the biggest loudest nastiest dudes always win. Democrats don’t want to win they just want to stay on their high horse (moral high ground)

See The Murder of Ceasar for the universal example

This is incredibly reductive.

The biggest / loudest / noisiest do not always win.

There’s more to politics than “winning”, winning is pointless if you have to trade your principles to do so.

I don’t think conservatives would say they have up the moral high ground to win. They just interpret morality differently. That doesn’t make it ok, but it does mean that discarding “the moral highground” in order to win is an absurd proposition.

Sorry mate principles don’t feed my family

Yes they do.

Whatever your employment or wherever your income is from it very likely depends on you at least appearing to not be a lying asshole.

You comment like platitudes do, though.

Damn that was SAVAGE.

Max voltage or min iq, who knows

The Republicans’ only principle is winning power. Therefore any lie, change in position, or trick in service of that is not a sacrifice. I’m not being sarcastic. That’s really all they are now.
Yeah, my reading of it is arrogance. They genuinely believe that they are the better governers because they will guide the nation on a godly path, therefore a bit of theatre (lies) in a campaign is the lesser evil.
