Reply To: What To Do When You Lose A Political Battle

About Time, if you want to bash Lapid, be my guest, but do it on another thread please.

As I said, I’m not trying to convince anyone about Lapid’s motivation, and frankly, it really doesn’t matter to the issue at hand – how can the Chareidi community mobilize enough support for its needs and perspectives for a plurality of voters to support those needs and tolerate those perspectives? I can read Yisrael Hayom too, and Chaim Shine is a card carrying likudnik who voted in their primaries and has an agenda, as he is perfectly entitled to – but he doesn’t come to the criticism of Yesh Atid with objectivity.

If you want to change or drive policy, you won’t do it by reciting everything you think is reprehensible about those who won the battle. You will do it by preparing wisely for the next battle, and enlisting support from beyond your daled amos. You won’t do that by denigrating the dati leumi, or by considering the secular less worthy of HKBH’s love.
