23. I have one question.

I am wondering why "No child should ever have to worry about being shot at school" has been changed to "No child should have to worry about school."

I think the original sounds stronger and clearer. The second version sounds kind of vague and amorphous to me. Could you please explain your reasoning for this particular change? Thanks!

31. Because kids worry about a lot more than shootings at school, and about things that the vast

majority of them are a lot more likely to face than someone with a gun. Bullying. Food insecurity. Access. Unsafe conditions and outdated materials. The pressure to succeed, fueled by scarcity capitalism.

29. Politicians should not dictate coronavirus decisions.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

32. Right!

[bluestarone]

8. Perfect!

9. Much of this is normal in many other countries.

Hell, Australia and NZ even banned Fux News because it's an "undemocratic propaganda network."

Rethuglicans are why we can't have nice things like healthcare.

12. Amen!

[lpbk2713]

13. I am a veteran.

And while I think no one at all should be homeless, if there is to be a priority, homeless single mothers should go to the head of the line.

[DENVERPOPS]

14. How about if one of our Zillionaire Democrats

finances sending this as a postcard to every citizen in the United States....???

I would think the Dem Uber wealthy also received a whole big bunch more new money from Trump and Republican's tax cut........

[LetMyPeopleVote]

15. K&R

[yardwork]

16. I agree with all those things.

[SergeStorms]

17. There needs to be a square for....

voting rights. Maybe that should be a rectangle across the top of the entire chart?

[George II]

18. Not just "liberals".

[onecaliberal]

20. K&R

[Trueblue1968]

21. i agree. i like this meme

[moondust]

22. Soshalizum!!!!!

[RANDYWILDMAN]

24. R's say half those things in coded ways, but they never follow through on any of it

We have so much cloudy media, it's too easy for some people, who know better to vote against their own interests.

[orleans]

25. now let's play: "crap right-wingers believe"

such as:
*not everyone should be allowed to vote
*politicians should have control over the female body
*my right to own lots of guns trumps your kid's right to not be massacred while in school
*unions are bad for the country
*immigrants are bad for the country
*minimum wage increase is bad for the economy
*we have every right to drink polluted water
*global warming is a hoax and so is climate change
*put prayer back in the classroom
*blue lives matter except when defending the constitution
*ban books, osha, fda, and cdc

--etc

28. K & R for Shock and Awe nt

[uponit7771]

30. K&R, we need better messaging mechanics to get these beliefs out to voters

[Mr. Steve]

33. I agree completely

My ideals for many years and why I continue to think, act and vote as a liberal

[calimary]

38. Welcome to DU, Mr. Steve!

Yep. And "liberal" is NOT a dirty word. It's certainly been shat upon, deliberately and repeatedly. But AS a liberal, for me it's very much alive, well, and proudly embraced.

[CrackityJones75]

34. I suggest

I suggest if you have any republicans in your social circle to print this out and cut each one out into a flash card. Then go through the list of them with your republican acquaintance and place the ones that they can agree with into a pile. And the one that they disagree with into another and then maybe discuss the ones that they don’t agree with. Admittedly you may have to change the wording slightly as to not tip off that it is an obvious liberal belief. But I do think that doing this you can demonstrate to them that there are a lot of things that they actually agree with if the surrounding noise is turned down some.

[calimary]

35. Ooooooh! Scandalous!
