       Don't engage with Republican talking points. They're designed to send Democrats down a rabbit hole of refuting an argument that isn't the point in the first place and it works every fucking time. So don't fall for it. Call it bullshit and attack what they're really trying to do.#uspol

       Example:Republican: "We want to get rid of vote-by-mail to crack down on voting fraud."Democrat: "Actually, studies show that vote-by-mail is..."BZZT.Response:"That's bullshit.  You know conservative ideas lose when faced with a fair and free election with high voter turnout. You want to force in-person voting because it gives you all kinds of ways to cheat." Put them on the defensive. Take control of the narrative.#uspol

       @gneilyo ... but that requires being impolite, and I honestly think that is the biggest thing preventing pushback. People are afraid of being rude. And people are afraid of physical responses,  all out of proportion to the likelihood of.
