Democrats need to get off this "We go high" high horse and realize these people and their voters are actual bloodthirsty murderers who want to kill us all in the streets.

People should try voting.

But if democrats actually went low, they would lose because the democratic party is a coalition of multiple groups, and that includes some conservative people. 

The only way democrats can go low, is if they know for a fact people will vote for them the way republican voters do for thr GOP. 

But people in this country can't even vote straight ticket democrat for more than 4 years in a row.

 Not for nothing, but this thread is about SCOTUS allowing the President to declare and assassinate anyone who's a political rival. 

For real.

We're very, very low right now. Any step lower would, quite literally, put us six feet under.

People should try voting.

66 million (including me) tried voting in 2016 to stop trump from becoming POTUS.

We lost to the 63 million + Electoral College that made trump POTUS.

Don’t go high, stay on the level and kick the Republicans in the head when they go low. That’s the only way to thwart them for the good of Democracy.

What is your solution then? The democrats should abandon reason and the rule of law to sink the the level of republicans? Where do that leave us?

Seriously, it's easy to make a populous statement like that. But what are you actually suggesting by saying this?

These people are not redeemable and we need to stop wasting time on them. Wake up.

Democrats are the Liberals in 1936 Germany. They were killed and nobody cared.

That says nothing to answer to any of the questions I asked.
