(7,830 posts)I put myself through college (when it was still somewhat affordable) and have a strong work ethic. I've never taken one penny from govt assistance programs of any kind...Luckily, I was raised in a good environment. Many aren't. Luckily I am for now healthy and able to work. Many aren't through no fault of their own.....I could get into a car accident today though & that could change in an instant. Any of us could. I'm approaching 50 & if I were to lose my current job, I'd most likely be up a creek. Many older Americans are. I haven't had to use my pathetic health insurance yet, but if I had to spend the amount of my deductible, it would be hard on me...
One thing I had always been proud of as a Democrat, is our ability to empathize with others. Rethugs are incapable of that.
Many people here on DU who claim very loudly to be Democrats, have no empathy & often sound just like rethugs. Its depressing....
ETA-- A rethug will eventually be in the WH again. This is reality. But with HRC as our nom, a rethug will be in the WH no matter the outcome of the election. She has already stated she'll be working with the republicans to "get things done", so what is the point.
She obviously doesn't believe they're all that crazy.
