What makes a Democrat different from a Republican or Libertarian or any other political group

It is our belief in justice for all.


It is not a cultural agenda
It is not a race agenda
It is not a religion agenda
It is not a us vs them agenda


So anyone can be a Democrat. You just have to be willing to support justice for everyone, not just those that look like you or me, or sound like you or me, believe in or not believe in God like you or me.

So sometimes people who will use Democrats to get their agenda through will then drop us like a hot potato.. it is what it is..

I can sleep at night

I would rather be a Democrat

I enjoy hearing alternate viewpoints. I just would like some facts to back them up.

Strange how the anti-liberal (usually anti-Democratic) people just raise their voices or rely on some circular chain-of-evidence that cannot be proven.

Science much?

Our major tenet is that we are all equal and therefore deserve equal treatment

Repubs exploit problems for profit.

Libertarians ignore problems and pretend they have no responsibility for them.
