Theres quite a bit of hostility coming from the left with the outrage mobs, senators calling for the harassment of Republican with whom they disagree with, and Hillary stating that you should not be civil with someone who opposes what you stand for.

Do you think this is a winning strategy for Democrats? Do you think this strategy will continue if Democrats lose seats at the Midterms?

Depends

I'm sure the party leadership would moderate a bit

Perez would be fired from leading the DNC

But I doubt the voters will change how they feel

How much of this is actually the democrats' strategy as opposed to just being the new normal for leftism in general?

You absolutely cannot condemn the party just because some of the members act badly. But when there are prominent members such as Maxine Waters, Corey Booker, and Hillary Clinton that are outright calling for outrage mobs, then you can certainly pin the blame on Democrats.

I remember back in 2016 when Antifa was just starting to take off even TYT said this is a bad idea. Youre hurting liberals and making us look bad! But now theyve just embraced it and have the attitude yeah, well the people theyre attacking are all Nazis. This is fine. TYT is hardly representative of Democrats. But this is just an example. Many of the anchors at CNN have similar statements along with other left leaning media outlets such as late night talk shows and The Daily Show.

Theres very few voices coming from the left that condemn this behavior. They either sit in silence or outright encourage it.

Trump: "If I don't win the election we will riot in the streets!"

*wins the election*

Liberals: "We want to protest several complete miscariages of justice and terrible policies."

Consevatives: "OMG WOULD YOU STOP WITH YOUR DAMN ANGRY HARRASMENT RHETORIC AND CHANGE TO A WINNING FORMULA!?"

Jeez it's like the grand central station of projection.

I wonder if the next Democrat of note will be accused of grabbing women by the pussy

if democrats don't take the house or senate it would be a loss.
even if they take more seats it's like winning the battle but losing the war.

This. I feel a lot of you who make these claims never define what you mean and just want to be able to claim victory no matter what. Everyone knows Democrats will lose seats in the Senate, that's not considered a loss when its expected

That is extremely vague. The House, Senate, Gubernatorial, and State Legislature are all totally different things

well yeah, that too, but it will take several cycles before those results trickle up into the national conversation

hmm I guess not now that 2020 is coming up

Im not sure what the state legislative races across the country look like though, they might not make enough gains for it to matter by then

They may do it. I havent ruled out the possibility. The midterms are typically not kind to the party of the sitting president. Ive been fully expecting that Republicans would lose at the midterms. But here recently I can certainly see the possibility of Republicans coming away the winner.

You still aren't saying what "coming away a winner" would entail. You're going to take the Senate race as the be all/end all aren't you?

here's a fun local race. local republican rep sent out his staff to collect signatures to get an independent candidate (a woman who lost her bit for the democrat ticket, and is also in court fighting a felony) on the ballot to divide the democratic voter base. even better, instead of collecting signatures his staff just forged them...

I doubt it. Republicans arent willing to play dirty.

They played dirty when they refused to even have a confirmation vote for Obamas pick and then rushed Kavanaugh in before the elections.

Dont play that game cause you wont win.
