So you want the people of the USA all

dreaming one dream? That is a cult. Reality has multiple realities and dreams. And in a democracy people pursue these varied plans. And at times they bump up against each other. And maybe learn something (or not if they are gop). And you reach compromises in the democratic party like promote trade but have adequate taxes on that corporate profit so that social programs and education can be kick ass good. And everybody then wins because it is a great democracy.

I didn't say all of the "complaints and observations" on the left

are wrong. I said that Democrats get to address a variety of realities. The left was far ahead in knowing trickle down was all smoke and mirrors. And don't we all wish the nation and the world had not gone down that more mindlessly competitive regulations road. That was a mistake the center made. Don't like inequality? Minimum wage Dems have tried to pass. Are you a corporation. Dems are passing trade deals. Don't like inequality? Dems want legislation to penalize inversions. Some of these policies are at cross purposes. That is because Democrats focus on the various needs of both the left and the center and all the people in between. And they even govern for those on the right at times because that is what democracy means. There are a myriad of realities in the nation. If you want only legislation to suit one set of specific needs you are only there for one specific group of people. Like the GOP is now. Give people, varieties of people, the basics of what they need in law and see them all thrive. That is the Democratic big tent. Meeting the needs of all realities of people.

GOP is ginning up a phony war between

men a nd women. They do this to make sure single women, who voted for Obama, do not find a place to discuss issues of the day unmolested. So they feel more apathy and maybe don‘t vote. They do it to alienate men from women. So men will vote for the GOP. A fake war between the sexes works for Republicans in numerous ways. I am surprised that they would stoop to online violence. Actually, when I think about it, I‘m not so surprised. The GOP is the party of psychopaths. I‘m so sorry this happened to you BB. Vibes to you. And don‘t fall for the war.

The right wing don‘t want forums to

exist where a single women may sign into. Isolating their pray is how psychopaths try to change the thinking of a coveted group. In this case the GOP want a greater percentage of single women to vote for them. And how can that happen if single women log on and get to discuss actual issues unmolested. After all healthy people get lured into a cult when the psychopath takes something away from them to destabilize them. Looks like isolating femminists is how the GOP is going to roll this election season.
