What's Wrong With The Democrats?

Let's see if we understand this. You apparently think posting a bunch of stuff about Trump and his ego is a substantive response to a thread about the self-inflicted wounds of the democrats.

Why would you think that? Are you really so insecure in your support of your apparent party that you can't even handle sound criticism?
Thing is, The Atlantic is leftist so it couldn't have been pleasant to author or publish that article but sometimes even lefties must occasionally deal with the truth.

The truth remains that rather than try to return to sanity, the party has just slide further down the rabbit hole.

God is messing with the left using his chosen one president Trump.

Trump is not a Christian.

And you believe that because you know his heart or because you've judged him?

I was raised Catholic.
I went to Catholic schools.
I was an altar boy.
A few of my relatives were nuns and priests.
I know what it means to be Christian.
Trump and most of the conservatives on this board are not Christian.

Ah … so you've set yourself on a throne and judged others. Got it.

BTW, why must one be a Christian to be used by God to mess with the left wing?

Do you want Christians to push their beliefs into their politics and inform the candidates that only those vetted by the church will receive any of their votes?

Don't a substantial number of Christians already do that?
 
Fully 2 years since The Atlantic published the following article and nearly 3 since Clinton's humiliating defeat, and the party today seems even less connected to our working class ("deplorables"), American symbols & traditions, or even reality.

What’s Wrong With the Democrats?

But liberals’ fears were softened in 2016 by a widely shared belief: that the candidacy of Donald Trump would shatter the Republican Party, at least in the form in which we had long known it. His trail of wreckage would force a painful reckoning with the party’s shortcomings—the narrowness of its coalition, the cloistered cluelessness of its elites, its intramural disagreements about the future of the nation. After a season of Trump’s destruction, the party would lie in rubble.

On November 8, that prophecy was realized, true in every regard, except that it described the Democrats. On Inauguration Day, the party’s power ebbed to its lowest level since the 1920s.

they need a "national message"? the right wing has nothing but bigotry.

Not as a unified voice. I'm talking about tens of millions of people all insisting that they will only vote for a candidate who lives by the Bible. They would be enough to swing the election whichever way they wanted. The screams of "theocracy" would be deafening.
 
The dems hitched its wagon to the libtard nuts in the press and the lefty media...and they have driven them right off the cliff...how else does a NY real estate tycoon win the presidency?....

It’s not a judgment.
Its an observation based on my years of experience with the Catholic Church.

This thread isn't about your hatred for "the right wing" but rather "WTF is wrong with Democrats?"

BYW, the right wing has a clear message and one the left wing refuses to accept and cannot defeat: "socialism is not the answer." - (former Colorado Gov J Hickenlooper)

Meanwhile DNC Chair Tom Perez also has some bad news for you, Comrade Franco:

DNC Chief: ‘Our nominee won't stand a chance against Trump’
“These numbers are daunting." He added “Our eventual nominee won't stand a chance against Trump...”
they should focus on national priorities. in my opinion, we should be upgrading infrastructure to increase the efficiency of our economy and help green our environment at the same time.
Agree but are you prepared to surrender significant gov't freebies and return domestic policy power and tax revs to the states? Infrastructure vs Green Deal & "free" healthcare, & "free" college", & personal debt relief, buddy ... we can't afford all.

Exactly when did this happen? I dunno. Exactly how did this happen? I dunno. Is this just the true nature of the hardcore left, now emboldened to show us its ugly face? I dunno. But this ain't your father's liberalism.

And not surprisingly (and perhaps not coincidentally), something similar has happened on the other side, too. So it's not exactly a big shock to see our divisions and anger just getting worse and worse.
Not "perverted and distorted" but rather "morphed" but yeah, it seems to be the true nature of the left. Decades of creeping socialism have left many demanding more big gov't "freebies" and $22 trillion in central gov't debt.

Our current $300 billion/yr in interest - $100 billion to foreign investors - is certain to grow either by more borrowing or higher interest rates (or both) with the CBO saying it could hit $1 Trillion/yr in a decade.

We continue to burden our progeny with the inevitable result of big spending, big taxation and big debt, and more of it is not the solution. The adults in the room need to stand up and say "enough."

Yep, only difference is a lot of people rely on Police, Fire and Infrastructure. Very few, if any, rely on you having free healthcare or free college or free income.

And to think you once were smart enough to know the diff between gov't policies that serve all Americans - facilitating trade, movement, wealth creation, public safety, etc. - and those that confiscate private wealth from some and redistribute it to others.

Is your prob just TDS or is it some other mind-numbing disease?
 
The primary problem with the Democrat Party is that it's full of Democrats, get rid of all of them and it would be a perfectly peachy organization.

What is wrong with liberals? Modern liberals (so-called Social justice warrior progressives) platform & ideology is actually based on a joke created by The Onion. But certain people don't have a sense of humor and they took it seriously. And they are so invested in this, they can't admit they where fooled and sound like complete and utter morons, so they're running with it. Proving the old saying, you can fool most of the people most of the time...

That is merely promoting the general welfare. It's not socialism.
