high road defeatism

When left wing politicians lose to the dirty tactics of right wing politicians because they feel that their personal integrity is more important than protecting their constituents.

Alternatively, those left wing politicians who have embraced the fact that keeping their position (and income via corporate paychecks and inside trading) only requires maintaining the appearance of high road morality, which is easy enough to do by acting stupid and pretending not to notice when their supposed political opponents act in bad faith.
American People: The Republican Party has been subsumed by foreign money and fascist elements. They've now taken over the major branches of government in a way that the checks and balances system no longer works, enacting policies that represent a shrinking minority of the populace. At the same time, they push fake conspiracies and promote false reality constructivism to fabricate invisible enemies to justify their bullshit. Why do you keep pretending like they aren't acting in bad faith?

Democrats: When they go low, we go high.

*Democrats proceed to seize the high ground while Republicans proceed to seize the Supreme Court*

Anyone with a brain: High road defeatism is not a winning strategy.

high road

road on which olde worlde scottish people tell weird foreigners to go as the way to scotland.
from the classic tune.....you take the high road.......

'you take the high road and i'll take the low road and i'll be in scotland before ye!'

it has often been thought that when the foreigners travelled upon the road they would be savaged by wild, naked, celtic men with blue paint on them (much like in braveheart) and would be viciously killed.....thus eliminating the foreign people!
weird sarcastic foreigner: yo dude in the tartan....could you tell me where the nearest haggis farm is?????
