17. If democrats don't want to be attacked they should stand for democratic ideals.

Sat Dec 13, 2014, 04:58 PM

Dec 2014

Torture is not a democratic ideal.
Taxpayer funded bailouts for the banksters is not a democratic ideal.
Taking minimal action on climate change is not a democratic ideal.
Cutting social programs during economic hardship is not a democratic ideal.
Abandoning labor is not a democratic ideal.

We will find out what kind of democrat Obama is the next two years. Will he use his veto pen or will he use the commemorative set he uses to sign legislation?

I am sick & tired of being told that I have to vote for candidates who are obviously republican, in spite of the D behind their names, because the other republicans are worse. It is why we are in this shit pile in the first place. Voting for the lesser of two evils still gets you evil.

Candidates don't automatically get my vote anymore just cuz they're sporting a D on their jersey.

Lastly, I don't think what happens on DU will have an affect on the election. But go ahead & tell us to get in line.
