Where is the Policy?

[Laslow]

When I grew up, a Democrat was for free speech, anti-war, and the working person. Now it is censorship, unending war, and crippling inflation. What policy is enticing people to vote for progressives? Congress is at a record low popularity, so I think people are aware that these crooks are not going to create policy that will help citizens. The safety net people and the greenies can't believe that giving these people tons of cash is going to help working people or the planet. We already see proof of this with the runaway inflation. Telling college kids they don't have to pay back their loans and letting habitual criminals run free is not seeming to have any positive effect. Democrats, other than abortion, what are you hoping to gain by voting progressive?

Flash mobs, no cops, no judges, no jail.

You obviously don't realize just how important it is that the .001% of the population that identify as Transgender feel comfortable using the public restroom of their choice.

You have to have priorities!

Today's Dem politicians are all about how to get wealthy by screwing over the American people. They control $4,000 BILLION plus in spending each year, it's about how to scam and skim their share of it.

Why not just be like Mexifornia and ignore restrooms, manners, and any type of civilized behavior???

Democrat and Republican is BS for most of the problems you mention. The answer is not with national parties. The answers have to be with local elected officials, down at the level where you can actually know who you are voting for, not just some party affiliation, but it is also the responsibility of local people to actually VOTE, so that a minority of the local populace does not decide for the majority of the local populace. My Democrat brother is a good example. He doesn't watch local news and often does not even bother to vote in local primaries, sometimes not even voting in the local general election, saying that doesn't matter, it won't change the country. But just the opposite is true, with the assholes that get elected based on party at national level and the fact that National Office holders do not, cannot and should not rule locally, per our constitution. Local leadership is where it's at. It is where people take responsibility if it is to be taken for local crime, local homeless, locally attracting industry, local taxation and how that money is spent by local people, where local judges and prosecutors are elected and or selected. These are the things that determine whether your local county, town or city work the way that is best for the community, not those clowns that go to Washington, supposedly to write and enact legislation for the good of the country, but spend most of their time raising money, finger pointing at the other side, and trying to make sure they get a piece of the pie and the pieces aren't taken from their supporters. Hell, they block even good legislation, just because the other side proposed it, rather than working to make it anything positive, less the other side scores a point. We saw that, just a couple of months ago when one party suddenly wanted to vote down legislation to help with veterans health, regarding exposure to burn pit pollution effects on those that fought for us, though they were all in favor, until the realized it was going to be passed, and the credit would go to the other side, then laughed and bragged about stopping it, until they realized it would be used against them in the next party driven election. No. The National Clowns and National Parties will not change how you live locally, at least not for the better, no matter which party you vote for. There are upwards of 252,274,000 voting age Americans, and maybe only 156,000,000 people voted, our president picked by only 81,283,000 voters, a significant minority, but larger than the less significant minority of 74,222,552 that voted against him. This lack of giving a shit to even get out and vote (much less thinking beyond party) is even worse in local elections and is why local situations are the way they are and local is where it counts, as that is where you live.

I won't argue with the importance of local elections. I know both parties are terrible, but they are far from the same. Republicans spend like drunken sailors, but they don't let criminals run free and tell kids they don't have to pay their loans. It is almost like the progressives are trying to hurt the voters. I just can't believe that everyone can know the system is bent, and still fork over cash for wind mills and wars that don't even involve a Nato Nation.

Both parties spend like drunken sailers, no actually worse. Drunken sailer get a worse rap than they deserve by a darn sight. Both parties appoint judges and neither party is always impressive in their appointments or the appointed judges decisions, and lets not leave out locally elected or appointed prosecutors and the minority of the local population that actually votes in the local power structure. The real fault is with everybody you know that skip the local elections, where they can actually make a difference in the way your community lives and operates. You can convict parties, if it makes you feel better, but having a finger to point, while the good people sit home on local election days as local not as important, and your community continue to go down the path to hell around you. Communities get the elected leadership they deserve based on the voting participation, and what the National foreign policy is or who sets it does not set the policy for crime, street cleaning, sanitation, code enactment or enforcement, or even city judges in your village, town or city.
