The fallback position in politics is if you don't know what you want to be about, and if you don't know what your vision is, go at somebody else.

Summary

This quote suggests that in politics, when individuals or parties lack a clear direction or vision for themselves, they often resort to attacking or criticizing their opponents instead. It implies that attacking others becomes a default strategy when there is a lack of substance or firm stance on political issues. It highlights the tendency to shift focus from self-reflection and self-improvement towards discrediting others as a means of capturing attention or diverting attention from one's own shortcomings.
