DNC Days 2 & 3: A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag
Saul Alinsky in his Rules for Radicals wrote in RULE 7:
A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag. Don’t become old news.
As Bernie Sanders unceremoniously leaves the Democratic Party to become an Independent once again, we take a look at the some of speakers who appeared at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) on days 2 and 3.
The DNC is using tactics that drag on too long and have become a drag. Is the DNC old news?
Their idea appears to be to bring on stage the same rhetoric Americans have heard under Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. Victims take the stage, make a statement but present no new tactics to solve the issue that caused their victim-hood. Be it on the economy, under and unemployment, crime, mass shootings, poverty, the national debt, national security, domestic policy and fighting terrorists domestically and overseas the DNC presents no new tactics let alone a strategy.
A series of short presentations, interspersed with Democratic Party campaign ads and ending with featured speakers such as Bill Clinton on day 2 and Barack Obama on day 3 is the same old same old.
The DNC is now facing a tough race and has pulled out all the usual suspects. What Saul Alinsky called “old saws.”
Day 2 saw cop haters (Mothers of the Movement) and a serial rapist (Bill Clinton) speak. Day 3 featured anti-Second Amendment gun haters (Bloomberg, et al) and a failed president (Barack Obama). Harsh words to be sure but the truth, when told, presents a harsh reality.
Hating guns, hating law enforcement, hating Republicans, hating Donald J. Trump is becoming a drag.
The primaries have shown that this does not inspire the base and attacking Trump only strengthens him.
As Alinsky wrote, “Even radical activists get bored. So to keep them excited and involved, organizers are constantly coming up with new tactics.”
Democrats are out of new tactics. They just keep using the old ones and expect different results.
