Why should I be a Democrat?

[Afromania]

83. Simple

Because the alternative is death, death for me, death for you and it has zero to do with the Democratic Party. People who have no vested interest in anything close to your position have managed to bamboozle their voters into walking us all back towards serfdom.

At least 40% of the country has decided to vote for people that

don't believe in unions

don't believe in public education

don't believe in health care

don't believe in LGBTQ rights

don't believe in paying taxes(or don't believe that taxes should be used for anything but what they want) or "I want to tell you what YOU should do with the tax money YOU pay"

feel that the police and justice system are a-ok and completely fair

prison is better than reforming the justice system

women aren't really all that important to the grand scheme of things other than as eye candy, brood mares or indentured servants

more garbage

even more bullshit

and lots more completely ridiculous shit I won't even bother to list


Before we can get to the far left we have to get back to center, and that means complete and total mobilization of absolutely everybody left of the modern Republican. That means centrists as well as those with uber progressive agendas. Once we get to center or just left of center we can keep pushing together.

It's the only way we get there because there is simply no other choice anymore. The right's propagandizing and brain washing of their voters has ensured that it has to be this way. So we can either vote together or stay fragmented while the Republican agenda continues to be furthered to the determent of us all, including the bulk of their voters.

It's time, get on board, and let's go!
