This idea isn't really meant to appeal to the intelligence level of posters here, but its meant to win. If we want progress, we have to win first. Democrats are really good at issues, Republicans are really good at winning. We can be really smart and talk about these issues in an intelligent way and keep losing, or we can try to win and actually make progress on important issues.
The problem is Democrats could completely cave on key issues and Republicans would just take quotes out of context or make up **** in its place - breathlessly reported as true by their media bubble. Now Dems have lost ground and gained nothing.
