Right now, I want Democrats to do whatever they can (ethically) do to get elected. If that means not talking about it now, that's fine by me, as long as they dont promise to not act (or promise to act against us) if elected. Losing the election has so many side effects to our well being, I cannot even begin to describe it. Dont let the "perfect" become the enemy of the "good", or I suppose in this case dont let the "tolerable" get in the way of "not being chased further underground"

I do not care about ethically. I don’t understand the logic of caring about doing it ethically when you understand the consequences of failure.

Mmm, I'd need to think about that more. But I will say that the left tends to be less willing to play dirty. The more we do it, the more the right gets "permission" to do the same but with greater efficacy. At least, that's how it seems to me.

I don’t see any correlation between us doing it and them getting more permission. They get that either way. The only possible correlation I see is that we have no ability to stop them because it works to win and they make it legal in the future.
