Entry: Submission Accomplished Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/submission_accomplished#16543 Post contents: Start by accepting the truth. The next President will not be anyone we like. OK So we have to fight a rearward action. And for that we need to a) prioritize b) build alliances. There are things more worth fighting than others. Find the ones you won't compromise to, and use the others as bargaining chips. Things that whatever damage they might inflict there will be time to fix later, or thing whose harmfulness is not so apparent, and you might be wrong. As for alliances, you might find that people in the liberal side of the aisle have issues in common. Use those to get help in other issues that they might be willing to use as bargaining chips. Think like a trader, not like an ideologue. Think that there are people that have things you might need, and that you may hold things that they need, and trade. Cool it down with the rethoric. It does not help to negotiate. Realize that you are not in a position of strenght so do not antagonize people needlessly. Sent at: 2008 09 07
