Dems, are you proud of your party?

@JoeNation posted an excellent question earlier:
http://www.partisanlines.com/threads/i-have-been-wondering-about-something-and-want-your-opinion.52527/
So are you proud of the actions, behavior, or policies that your party represents. Do you believe an individual or group represents your party?

 

another homework assignment.

 

This is no different than the question JN asked. You didn’t have a problem posting your opinions there. If you have to research your personal opinions here, well.....that’s telling.

 

all you do is take and never give.

 

I think when all is said and done, it is hard to use the word pride when referring to either major political party in this country. I like that my party of choice is for making voting easier for all Americans. I like that they are by far more inclusive than the other party. I like that they have a genuine relationship with the truth and reality. I like that groups like the KKK, the Proud Boys, and all of the other white nationalists are not welcome in the party. I like the fact that no one in my political party participated in an insurrection at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. I like that they are not anti-immigrant. I like that they do not cage children at the border. I like that we are the party of FDR, Kennedy, and Obama.

My biggest complaint about the Democratic Party is that they are unwilling to exercise the power we hand them without regard for what the other side says. They spend way too much time listening to the other side. If they actually enacted every one of their policies and just said F-U to the Republicans, I think that they would never lose and elected office again. The weak knee thing bothers me.

 

Oddly enough, one of the few that chose not to participate in my thread decided to ask the same type of question. That's, as you say, telling.

 

Thanks for an honest response. We can disagree about each other’s parties ideals, but we can’t have a conversation if either side won’t state their true positions.

 

Fair enough. I’m new and am still trying to soak in everyone’s perspectives. If you would like a response, just ask.

 

the other thread is wide open

 

Yes it is and I welcome JN’s invite if he likes. Keep doing your homework to find out what your personal convictions are.

 

and keep on hiding and telling everyone nothing.

 

I'll be honest with both of you... Sniping at others rarely leads to good conversations. We all do it once in a while but it shouldn't be your main contributions.

 

it's probably tuffie's sock anyway

 

I’m just following your lead. In the short time I’ve been here I’ve learned you don’t answer questions, you enjoy denigrating others that may disagree with you, and are not inclined to do research (homework). If I remember correctly (by all means correct if I’m wrong) you have publications. Did you do any research for those?

 

why would you follow my lead? don't you have any thoughts of your own?

 

You are absolutely correct. I will refrain from trolling the troll.

 

that's not even what he said. at all. I guess we know you're a trump devotee.

 

Who in the world do you think you are to ask anyone else that question? Repeater Boy . . .

 

I am a confirmed middle of the road conservative. I considered creating a thread about this, but I think it may fit here because I voted for Bill Clinton his second run..... You see, old Bill had a mantra during his second run, "It's The Economy, Stupid".... He understood that the economy was the catalyst that drove our nation. Private business was the engine, not government institutions. He was a Democrat and he got it right.

Now we go on and on here about Trump and his lying, boastfulness and greed.... However, Trump also understood that a healthy economy is the ultimate answer to the nations woes. For all his posturing, his ultimate goal was to keep the economy moving ahead. It was his "end game". In that regard, Trump got it right.

Just yesterday I tried to source new tires for my wife's car. The dealership stated, "Like everyone else, we are having supply chain problems".... Hopefully, in two weeks I'll have tires for my wife's car.... But this is as prolific as Covid is currently in our nation and our leaders are not addressing the issue here.

If Mr. Biden can focus on bringing our economy back around, heck I'll vote the man a second term. I may carry a Republican registration, but I will vote any man or woman that will put our economic agenda back on the forefront. End the handouts and put people back to work. It really is just that simple.

 

This has proven to be difficult.
