She is a woman.

Maybe we should support women like Kamala Harris instead? Do you not see the distinction?

HArris is one of the woman I'm talking about. Which Democratic Party women are like Sarah Palin ? JI7 Dec 2020 #20

That wasn't you argument. Goal post moves are not useful in debates. nt Gore1FL Dec 2020 #21

There is are no goal post moves. You just want to dismiss the issue of Civil Rights , Equality , etc JI7 Dec 2020 #24

I don't want Republicans running the Democratic party, actually. Gore1FL Dec 2020 #27

How in 2020 is the Democratic Party far right? betsuni Dec 2020 #16

Far right? No. 1970s GOP is what I compared it to. Gore1FL Dec 2020 #19

No it's not . The Republican Party in the 1970s embraced the Southern Strategy with Nixon JI7 Dec 2020 #22

And they were considering healthcare. Gore1FL Dec 2020 #30

Obama did the most in expanding health care for millions in Decades JI7 Dec 2020 #35

And that was awesome. Gore1FL Dec 2020 #38

People are fighting for it and none did more than Obama who is a Democrat . JI7 Dec 2020 #42

No dispute there. nt Gore1FL Dec 2020 #44

You said it has "moved so far to the right" and "It's been moving right since 1984" betsuni Dec 2020 #23

OK let's start with 1988 Gore1FL Dec 2020 #26

lol, those are about winning electoral votes . You didn't mention policy . Dukakis, Gore, Kerry , JI7 Dec 2020 #29

policy was boiled down to left vs right Gore1FL Dec 2020 #31

We lost because of massive numbers of white people in the country. Now with more minorites we are JI7 Dec 2020 #33

Maybe we lost because we quit standing for our values. Gore1FL Dec 2020 #36

no, white people vote republican because they are racist, not because they have values JI7 Dec 2020 #40

Do you have stats to back that up, or should I just believe you? Gore1FL Dec 2020 #41

Yes, White People have voted majority Republican in every election after Civil Rights was passed JI7 Dec 2020 #43

I was hoping for links rather than beliefs. Gore1FL Dec 2020 #45

There are many links, You can look it up. Do you really not know majority of white people JI7 Dec 2020 #47

I could look it up, I guess Gore1FL Dec 2020 #51

It's like asking me for a link to Joe Biden winning the election . Google Race, election (add year) JI7 Dec 2020 #54

The Democrats have supported Reaganomics since the 1984 election. Gore1FL Dec 2020 #46

Clinton and Obama raised taxes on the wealthy . JI7 Dec 2020 #48

to 70%? Gore1FL Dec 2020 #49

People don't want a 70 percent tax raise . That's why they voted for a Republican Congress . JI7 Dec 2020 #52

I do. Gore1FL Dec 2020 #53

Try to get it done state level first . JI7 Dec 2020 #55

States don't control federal taxation. nt Gore1FL Dec 2020 #56

There are state taxes . My point is that people don't support it of either party . JI7 Dec 2020 #58

That was my point too. Gore1FL Dec 2020 #60

That's not what Reaganomics is . Democrats still Raise Taxes on the wealthy . Just because it's not JI7 Dec 2020 #61

Trickle-down economics is a Republican policy. betsuni Dec 2020 #64

No. We all get your point StarfishSaver Dec 2020 #83

Then I guess you don't get my point Gore1FL Dec 2020 #87

No they haven't. It's 2020. Trickle down economics is not a Democratic policy. betsuni Dec 2020 #50

when have the Democrats proposed raising the top tier to pre-Reagan levels? nt Gore1FL Dec 2020 #57

It's 2020. betsuni Dec 2020 #62
