The Republicans are better on foreign policy and the economy.

Healthcare and entitlements leave a lot to be desired on both sides.

The Democrats support mob justice and racist identity politics.

Not a terribly hard decision.

Ha ok.
Our current president is quoted to say that he thinks democrats do better with the economy and it runs better under democrats.

Tbh the country really is obsessed with “WELL YOUR SIDE” jargon.
It’s kind of ridiculous and I wish we could have a real political discussion without saying “yeah well obama” or “yeah well trump.”

My first comment is just a regular response.





Irony is real ik ik ik ik ik ik.
Just saying.

could it be that this was at a time when a pragmatic centrist in bill clinton was president and representing the mainstream of the democratic party?

Or a political opportunist who just says whatever is best for him at any given time?

If the Democratic Party were still the party of FDR I would have voted for them.

-For increased size and power of federal government
-Advocates for expansion of social safety net
-Increases taxes on the wealthy
-Supreme Court shenanigans
-Defies democratic traditions for more power

He wants the government to suspend habeas corpus and put white men into internment camps instead of Japanese Americans.

Only until they are castrated. Then they can be released.
