Establish boundaries, ignore their bad-faith arguments and personal attacks, reject their artificial reframing of the issues, and stand fast on your principles.

How do you do that politically? Especially the establishing boundaries. The rest is easy to visualize, but I'm having trouble in the first one.

Excellent question! It's something Democrats are terrible at doing. You pick a political issue and you describe what is and is not acceptable. Human rights, for instance, are not negotiable. Everyone is entitled to due process. There is no room to discuss alternatives, and you can not engage in a debate outside of those boundaries. There is no compromise outside of those boundaries, and no wiggle room on the Overton window.

Thanks, that makes sense.
