...the nation can improve itself.
Rightwingers: I know you hate democrat policy, but I want you all to use your brains for a moment.
None of you can think of specific republican policies that you think better the nation as a whole. Liberals, however, can think of many democratic policies that they like. I can name many that I like. Doesn't that bother you? Democrats have a variety of policy ideas. Republicans do not. The large majority of republican positions are just saying "no" to something. That's not leadership.
Should you just admit to yourselves there is no good reason to vote republican? Don't you think that's at least a start in trying to improve our nation even if you hate liberal positions?
You can divide conservatives into 3 groups the rich, the racist, and the religious, every conservative is either in one of these groups or a combination of two or more. When you say, "republican positions are just saying "no" to something." your missing the fact that they do have plans they just can't get them passed and more importantly do not have universal agreement among all 3 groups. War is a good example, while the rich generally approve of war as it not theres sons dying, their homes being attacked, or often even their taxes used to pay for it. While opening up all sorts of "investment opportunites" (for lack of better term), in the new war torn region. While racists always support a war against a country of a different race, religious people will be extremely resistant to any war with any country of the same religion. So any war inany muslim majority country passes the 3 groups test, and therefore every conservative backs literally any war for any reason with a musilm majority country. which is as far from "just saying no to something" as you can get. This can be applied to every major issue, immigration, abortion, gay rights, minimum wage, public schools etc etc
