I will keep this short. I have a theory about the Democrats’ strategy in 2012 and I was wondering if anyone else might have a similar thought or something to add to this. I’ve noticed that most people (liberals and conservatives) seem to really care about an issue the most, when they are pushed away from what they “want/need”. I put that in quotes, because most people let the media decide what they want/need, but… well, you get the idea. The American-Right has done a fantastic job framing liberalism in any way as an attack on ‘traditional, Christian, conservative values’.

Could it be that the national Democratic party realizes that their base is rather disinterested/demoralized and they are trying to get them motivated and excited by allowing the American-Right to win a few things that will hurt liberals (and all people in general)? Did they throw the fight for health care so that they can ‘fight for it’, again? Did they throw the Arizona immigration law case to make sure that Hispanics are pissed off at the American-Right and vote against them? Did they throw the Walker recall, by not putting any money into the race in order to motivate organized labor?

Could it all just be part of a grand strategy? When Napoleon and Hitler invaded, respectively, Russians did the same thing. They fled back and caused the invaders to over extend themselves and then took advantage of an overconfident and under-supplied force. In the American Revolution, Washington lost almost every battle he fought, but the American Rebels won, because of British fatigue, due to attrition? The biggest difference here, however, is that the American-Right has no end to its funding/supply lines.

I have been told that I am giving the DNC waaaay too much credit and that it’s just because they are a bunch of spineless, incompetent, daft, individualists, who are afraid of forming a national platform, like the Republicans, because that might lead to an argument or a debate and there’s nothing spineless liberals hate more than being brow-beaten by loud, angry conservatives that only use talking points and emotion to the point that the liberal is too tired and stupefied to use their superior reasoning, logic, evidence, and facts to win… which they undoubtedly would, if they had any guts to stand up for themselves.

Except Joe Biden; he’s kind of a bad-ass.
