How to Fight
Everyone says that if we are to find a way to make long term, positive changes, to revive the mixed economy, and reenergize the debate on progressive issues, then the Democrats need to learn how to fight.
Herewith, things I've learned from Rottweilers:
- Stand your ground
- Stare your opponent right in the eye
- Be deadly calm in the face of provocation, but remember:
- If you need to make noise, make it BIG
- Ignore yappy little heel-biters and other distractions
- When all else fails, show them your teeth
And most important--
- Throw your whole heart into it
It also helps to remember these two central tenets of the Rottweiler code:
- Pain is as nothing
- Bad stuff never happens
