I think Michelle Obama just wanted to say some words that made DNC voters feel a feeling of superiority as the party they voted for did very little to address the material conditions the voters live in while the RNC repeatedly enacted their policies of racism and oppression, hoping the voter would think “things are just slower when you do them ‘the right way’.”
Michelle Obama once said when they go low we go high. Meaning the republicans go low. What would be the equivalent of the Democrats going low instead of high ground?

Michelle was front and center of the public attempts to whitewash GW Bush after his presidency, I think too many people hold her and her husband on a pedestal that only looks impressive compared to what we have now. They’re both still just politicians.

In a broad sense: simply employing the most basic principles of game theory.

The Biden administration actions surrounding the rail strike. Give the damn workers paid sick leave already.

Expanding the number of supreme court seats to ensure a DNC-aligned majority. Fillibusters. Executive orders. Gerrymandering. Giving state rights to left-leaning territories and split states to create extra DNC-aligned senate seats. Attack ads. Restrict campaign funding for major donors so Republicans have less propaganda funding than Democrats do. Give migrants citizenship so they vote Democrat.
Basically, use every trick they can get away with to push the Democrat agenda through and to increase the chances of Democrats winning future elections.

when we got the ACA passed through the senate via administrative procedures without enough votes (senator Kennedy died and the state lost its seat to a Republican, really unfortunate. senator Kennedy had worked for decades to get healthcare reform through congress and was a co-sponsor of the bill.)
they also dislike that teachers tell children to be kind in schools, for whatever reason.

Like how Democrats say that Republicans are going low and not allowing elections. Then there was no Dem primary in 2024, and Kamala was anointed even though she had to drop out of the 2020 primary before a single vote was cast cause she couldn’t get any support.

Once the big wigs realized Joe was a liability, the Primaries were over. I don’t think that was taking the low road as much as it was “Oh Fuck, NOW WHAT DO WE DO?!?”

Get the congressmen to read the redactions about Trump aloud.
Start a pedophile registry of Republicans.

Good filibuster material.
