    If the Democrats/Progressives take the low road to beat the Republicans at their own game, isn’t that just one team winning over another team? Whereas if you’re fighting for ideals then you’re going to end up taking the high road a lot

      The ideal I’m fighting for is not being labelled a child sex offender and executed by the government because of my rainbow lapel pin. I’m open to higher ideals but when one side says we need to be “eliminated” I’m probably gonna tolerate a lot from the people who are trying to stop them.

      “Take the high road” in this case means “treat treasonous criminals with kid gloves because they’re supported by the GOP.” If everything had been done by the book, Trump would have been in prison a long time ago.
