One thing I've noticed in this sub forum... it has a decidedly awkward direction. Right-leaning people trash Democrats for the crazy things they do... talk about the Dem failed policies ... or failed whatever it is they're doing and how we should be doing "X" instead. The Democrats defend the actions of Biden, and talk about how horrible Trump is.

The one thing I've never, EVER seen though, is an actual discussion on what Democrat policies are.

It's made me realize, what exactly do Democrats stand for? Ray might tell you they stand for the "little guy," which is a term they came up with... same with Blue Collar (that's a socialist-derived term). We know that's NOT true at all because their policies have resulted in loss of manufacturing and are generally anti-middle class. They're actually even anti-lower income now too because they seem to be 100% for illegal immigrants (don't even know how that happened, but it did).

If I think about the Democrat platform, it's basically this:

- Eliminate Fossil Fuels
- Support Trans rights and men in women's sports
- Open Borders
- Tax the rich... maybe?


None of these seem like actual policies, or at least well-thought out ones. We know the Democrats aren't really for the environment... since nothing they've ever done has actually improved the environment. Their failed forest management leads to massive wildfires, they're the ones that allowed massive dumping of pesticides and chemicals into rivers (and using them on farms, etc.), where as it's been Republicans who are curbing these things. Their focus is on eliminating fossil fuels... saving the environment is the feigned point, but it has more to do with their partnership with China.

Can anyone actually tell me what the Democrat platform actually is... I mean, REALLY... not a fake list. Because to be quite honest with you, I don't think for the last 4 years anyone had any idea what Democrats stood for. I at least had some general idea what Obama wanted, even if I didn't agree with it. But under Biden, no one knew... and I still don't know what you people stand for.

At this point, I don't think actual Dems know.

The policy of both parties (R & D) is control.

It would not be much of a stretch to lump R & D into one party, the Uniparty.

Everything else is secondary.

Trump ran as an R, IMHO not by choice, but running as an Independent was not do-able.

He has pretty much created a third party with the MAGA movement.

I do believe that this Administration is trying to do what they say, I e., reduce debt, rebalance trade, restore manufacturing and investment in the US, and enforce the law as written.

matter of degree

I think the current demo's are a bit less

greedy

corrupt
LYING
CHEATING
FAIRY TALE GUIDED

only if i get paid or other result


AND
more likely to see a common good result
OVER PARTY GAIN ONLY

BASED ON THE PARTY ROLE SWAP
EVIL THAT WAS NIXON
SUCKED IN THE CONNED SCUM FROM THE OLD SOUTH'S DEMO'S
SEMI-PURGING SOME OF THE WORST OVER RACE
THEN THE CON'S RE-PURGED ANY LIBERALS AND MODERATES ALSO FROM THE Gop
WHILE MANY BECAME INDIE'S SOME BECAME MODERN DEMO'S
AND AGAIN THE Gop TILTED EXTRA FAR RIGHT MORE RIDGED AND LESS CARING THEN EVER

REMEMBER I WAS IN THE Gop 60 TO 66 AND WATCHED THE RACIST JOIN THE Gop FROM IN SIDE
AND QUIT AS A DIRECT RESULT OF RACIST'S JOINING
BUT NEVER JOINED THE DEMO'S


SO BASED ON THE WHO JOINED WHEN
THE GOOD vs EVIL FLOW FOLLOWS THE RACISTS

BTW YES THE RUMP IS RACIST
LOOK WHO FLYS THE SOUTHERN BATTLE FLAG
IT AIN'T THE DEMO'S WHO ATTACKED THE CAPITAL

And once again... all that Ray can contribute is that "Republicans suck", or "Trump Sucks", or "Elon Sucks", or "(insert Republican du Jour) sucks".
Nixon. Racist. RWNJ, bla-bla-bla...

It's why Trump won. He had a platform. He had a plan.
I looked, repeatedly, to see what Kamala stood for. She never said. Never.
The closest she ever came to having a plan was, "I wouldn't change a thing." Well, we saw how Brandon's "policies" worked. Where do I sign up for more of that?

I can't answer "what even is a Democrat?" Because I don't know, anymore. And the media won't let us see.
But it's not the frothing at the mouth, Tesla burning, morons that are running around. Like any cross-section of society, the morons are the smallest minority, but are getting all the press coverage, because that's how the press operates. If it's not driven by an agenda (which is most likely) it's driven by the desire for views/clicks.

DOES THE CULT GET THAT THEY ONLY SEE THE MOST EXTREME EXAMPLES

THE CONCENTRATION ON THE FEW IS VERY DISTORTED

THE NORMAL; MIDDLE IS NOT NEWS WORTHY

AND YES MEDIA IS CAPITALIST
IF THE MEDIA LOST MONEY IT DON'T LAST LONG

BTW THE RUMP HAS CONTRACTED THE GDP BY 0.3%
AS IN NO GROWTH 0.3 LESS THEN JOE DID SO FAR

BTW WHILE THE CULT ONLY TALKS ABOUT THE DEMO = MORONS
WHILE THE DUMBEST ARE THE MAGA FANS IN MASS BY MANY OBJECTIVE MEASURES
LIKE INCOME NET WORTH IQ SCHOOL RESULTS OR THE JUDGEMENT OF THEIR COMMUNITY

Ever listen to yourself?
You get to own that sh!t. No sympathy from me.

Respectfully, I don't even really know what you're saying.

Again I ask... what exactly is the Democrat party's platform?
