Democrats giving up the pretense of 'going high'

A more accurate version of Michelle Obama’s famous rallying cry before the presidential election last November — “When they go low, we go high” — would sound something like, “When they go low, we’ll pretend to go high for a few months, give up when it doesn’t work, and then just keep going low without the pretense.”

The latest indication that decorum is falling out of fashion with Democrats quicker than choker necklaces in 2017 comes courtesy of Center for American Progress President Neera Tanden, who reacted after Jon Ossoff lost his House race on Tuesday by tweeting, “One important lesson is that when they go low, going high doesn’t f**king work.”
