Now, I don’t say this because I think democrats are ideal. In fact, it does not at all bother me when someone tells me they dislike democrats and will refuse to vote for them.
That by itself is fine.
The problem, of course, is that people will vote for republicans. This is a party that is so corrupt, self-interested and USELESS that it is absolutely bewildering that this isn’t apparent to anyone with average intelligence.
Of course, this is apparent to some Republican voters on some level. For instance, when you ask one to defend voting for the GOP, their ONLY response is “well at least they aren’t democrats! Derp!”
See? On some level they know the truth, but they lack the emotional maturity to admit it.
Democrats must become more welcoming and proactively recruit independents and ex-Republicans as both voters and candidates.

Yep. We had the best economy ever in the history of the United States, including a budget surplus, and the start of paying down the national debt, with a balanced budget, under Bill Clinton.
So what did America do?
Elect George W. Bush
After two wars added to the countries credit card, two tax cuts that ended the budget surplus, created a $ Trillion deficit, and end the balanced budget, and add $ 5 Trillion to the debt, not including the cost of Iraq and Afghanistan, a crashed world economy, a crashed US housing and auto industries, that were completely turned around, with 80 straight months of job growth, and 142% gain in the stock market, with stabilized energy prices, and a fully recovered housing and auto industries, under Barack Obama.
What does America do?
Elect Donald Trump
After inheriting a recovering economy, and then passing another $2 trillion tax cut for the rich, over stimulating the economy, which was warned against, which is now responsible for most of the current inflation, made worse by ignoring a global pandemic that cost a million American their lives, and squandering the previous 8 years of economic growth, overseeing the worst growth rate since the 1930's, and creating an unemployment rate of 14.8 %, and adding an additional $8 trillion to the debt in only 4 years.
What does America do.
Elect Joe Biden... And in only 10 months of putting stimulus money in peoples pockets, creating a 6% growth rate, with a 4.6% unemployment rate, and will be signing a bill into law cutting child poverty in half, and will be creating millions of new higher paying jobs fixing out crumbling infrastructure, and not even knowing whats going to happen in the next 3 years...
What is America doing?
Thinking about voting for Republicans again.
