We need strategy. Who can be the left’s Karl Rove?

by Arthur Saturday, Sep. 20, 2003 at 4:05 PM

Let's talk strategy.

We need strategy. Who can be the left’s Karl Rove?

I have seen discussions on the left about tactics and strategy, but most of them are based on “well, I did this and it worked OK” and “don’t do this, I did it and it was a disaster.” I have not seen focus groups, polls, or serious research of political demographics, trends, history, and so forth. I have not heard anyone say "Hey, hey ho ho" is favored by urban professionals by 2 points over "Down with..."" and I've never heard of Karl Rove saying "Well, once I burned a flag and got on the news, so why not try it again?"

But we all know who keeps inexplicably winning.

Here is the ultimate collection of research and advice on strategy and tactics I have found:

The Left’s Karl Rove

by I Will Saturday, Sep. 20, 2003 at 4:32 PM

I can be the left's version of Karl. I'll do it my own way though. Let me show you some of my work.

I do stuff like this:

^

smashtheleft

That's me. Aren't I clever? My mommy thinks so!



or

nonanarchist

Bush Admirer

Good Job! Whenever we conservatives have nothing better to say, we can always resort to name calling. Shows how stupid we are. Way to go!

or

^

Toby

Watch out! The faker is outside your window. You're nuttier than a peanut factory.



I believe these things are exactly what we need as far as strategy. By using these methods, it's just a matter of time before we can take back the government, which rightfully belong to we liberals anyway. This is all I have. Give me a chance.

If I may...

Throwing pies and eggs at your opponent does not make your opponent look bad.

It makes you look childish.

You just go ahead and keep thinking we're one person, if that helps you be less afraid, poor boy.

RE: trolls

by easy solution Tuesday, Sep. 23, 2003 at 9:38 AM

There's an easy answer to your solution. We aren't going away, so that hope is out the window. Just ignore any comments we trolls say. Skip right over it. Don't even acknowledge that it's there. It really is that simple.
