Maybe a better analogy than the high school fight is someone trapped in an alley, facing off with thugs intent on robbing and hurting their prey.

Maybe a better analogy than the high school fight is someone trapped in an alley, facing off with thugs intent on robbing and hurting their prey. In that situation, you do everything in your power to survive. So what if it's not the way you typically behave or like being perceived? I always carry a large, sharp pocket knife. Damn right I would use it in this scenario, though I find this kind of violence abhorrent.
Anyone who thinks this isn't a life-and-death struggle for democracy and what we see as an essential way of life is naive or deluded.
The party desperately needs a youth movement — people who understand the stakes and are willing to fight accordingly.
Great analogy that rings true to me. Republicans have blood on their hands so they have demonstrated they will do whatever it takes to win the fight. They care less about human life than gaining and holding power.
If the old guard isn't up to the task, then at least they should do the honorable things and pass the torch to the young hellcats who are itching to take the fight to the Republicans and stand up for regular Americans.
Talking about a youth movement which I agree with reminds me of a comment I made a while back of Democrats strategically going after the women's vote, i.e. an all out women's movement.) We have seen them work effectively in the past and I think the times are ripe for Democrats to put women on the front lines of this war.
The core issues of preservation of life, family values, abortion, gun restrictions and human rights are best championed and defended by women. They have the passion and empathy to take the fight to the Republicans. And, women know how to talk to other women, men not so much. Women are far more likely to stick together because of shared experiences. I also think women are uniquely positioned to challenge (stand up to) the authority of men.
The future of this country hangs in the balance, and I believe it is time to give women and young people the reins to lead us to a better and more prosperous future for ALL.
Couldn't agree more!
