I just want to reiterate my belief that Republicans are the worst people alive

22. Or, as voters in primaries indicate with their votes, swing the nation in a new

direction. People vote for the middle because they are afraid of trying new things.

If we present candidates with good, new ideas who inspire the confidence of voters in the idea that we as a nation can do new, good things, we will win.

Why would a voter who has been propagandized to believe that the conservative solutions to things are what we need vote for a Democrat when a Republican candidate is available?

We are either the Party of new ideas that respond responsibility to the new challenges of our time (like climate change for example) or we lose to the Party that presents itself as the reliable, responsible party of always doing the same things we did in the past and avoiding the new and that means ignoring new problems that have arisen because we always did, do and plan to do things as we have always done them.

And, of course, we see with the Republican budget deal that although they present themselves as the reliable Party of the past and making America great again (although our country has changed and we need to make America great today not yesterday), they are not at all equipped to deal with the pressing issues of our day. We have breaking bridges and a decrepit energy system -- and they want promise more of the same -- and tax breaks for those who plan to help them keep their promise.

Meanwhile, technology is changing everything, but we still back Democrats who can't or won't see that middle candidates (meaning conservative candidates) are going to throw our country back into a past that does not accept the new technology.

No. I disagree with you. We need candidates who can talk about the challenges of our time and of the future, embrace the technological and human responses that will work and that we need as a nation and move us into the future. It's not about making America great again. That focuses on the past. It is about making America great now and in the future.
