Try something': Democrats should stop playing it safe, says Chris Hayes - All In - MSNBC



Chris Hayes: Some Democrats are convinced they just need to keep their heads down and hope they can run on egg prices in two years. Not only is that strategy morally wrong in my view, but it is strategically wrong. - Aired on 03/06/2025.

and give people something to rally around in places other than the districts in which Democrats know that they can win. Put pressure on the MAGA/GOP representatives to answer for Trump's traitorous destruction of the world order and Elon's brainless and wanton destruction of the federal workforce. (Even if Trump is not a Russia asset but is merely clinically stupid, his actions and policies check every box that would be desirable in such an individual.) Present to them what the country will be like for these MAGA/GOP constituents if Trump decides to gut Social Security or Medicare/Medicaid among other programs.

Decorum should be reserved for opponents who will reciprocate and acknowledge the respect that said decorum grants them. That is not true of the MAGA/GOP or any of the Trump officials. Trump and the MAGA/GOP politicians are mostly, if not wholly, without honor.

The most important thing is to educate the voters about the dangers they can face - and then GOTV!
