Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

This shows why it was paramount that the Democrats left the "high road". Trump has no clue how to react when someone finally hits back at the bully.
Baiting Trump to keep doing the thing that his voters are starting to hate because he can't shut his damn mouth is so funny I'm actually surprised the dems are doing it.
Seriously. When did "don't fight back" ever work against a bully?
It's all about principles and turning the other butt cheek like good people do, as if that was going to convince the bully that their way is wrong...
It's not about convincing Trump, it's about getting the Independents to vote.
Dems won with Biden in 2020, so they figured that he'd be fine in 2024.
If something worked for a long time, people are reluctant to try something new.
I myself was leery of Biden dropping out, and I was shocked by the Kamala surge.
I'm not talking Biden or Kamala or Trump or who needs to come out and vote, I'm talking about the way more progressive people act in general, they believe people who are harsh and disrespectful just need to be shown a better way because if progressives can be good people so can anyone else, just like bad people project unto others their own faults (if I can imagine myself doing X, it means everyone could do the same, the best example being all people who committed election fraud being Republicans when they're the ones acusing the Democrats of doing it).
I don't know why so many democrats think themselves into closed boxes like this. Biden was a very poor candidate from the beginning, and was one of the worst candidates chosen from the original primaries. He (and the democrats) nearly blew the 2020 election, and were only saved by Trump's massive failures with COVID-19.
I mean, go back to Obama selecting this man and people hated the guy. I recall people ranting and pleading with Obama to pick someone else.
The Dems do this because the Left stays away from the process and then [possibly] shows up on election day.
AOC jumped in with both feet and got herself elected. And seen plenty of people rage on her because she didn't set herself on fire to fight the Dem leadership.
I hear ya. Turning the other cheek is important. But God also killed Jobs family.
Hail Satan.
I'm fond of the Gnostic view.
I don't believe in any of it, but it makes more sense.
Eh, hedging your bets? 🤘🏽🤣

It's an old maneuver, but it checks out. 🤌🏾
I'm not sure that idiom is what you think it is.
It's proper manners to sneak a cheek when you fart in public
We should collectively refer to that as a "Giuliani", IMHO.
Nah, a Giuliani is when you shit yourself so bad it starts leaking out your head.
The one cheek sneak is normal and acceptable.
It was a joke butt thanks
Lol turning the other cheek is not about your butt, it's for if someone slapped your face, so you turn your face to give them the other cheek to slap
Thanks butt it was a joke
You're welcome!
Makes me think the person that made up that rule was a bully themselves.
Michelle Obama?
She didn't make up that rule. It existed in school long before the Obama's were in politics.
Right? I was taught to not start fights, but if someone wants to attack me and mine, to make sure that I finish that fight. I get wanting to be the bigger person, so to speak, but at least defend yourself.
Also he will never be able to turn the tables and take the high road because he’s trash. Trash with enough money to impress Americans, but he’ll never be able to speak or act like a truly classy person.
