What Happened to the Democratic Party? (1 Viewer)

[Liberty One]

It’s hard to recognize the Democrat Party these days. Once the party of anti-war activism and healthcare reform, they’ve morphed into something unrecognizable. They used to question military intervention, but now they stand behind it without hesitation. Healthcare costs were a major issue, and while I didn’t agree with their solutions, at least they highlighted the problem. Today, they seem more interested in pronouns than prescription prices.

Free speech? They used to defend it, even for unpopular ideas. Now, they’re all about banning “hate speech,” throwing out the very principle they once championed. As for the working class? Once their backbone, now they seem to despise them, siding with giant corporations instead of small businesses. The party that fought for the little guy now appears more concerned with identity politics than real issues that affect real Americans.

Some will argue they can focus on both, but let’s be honest—there’s only so much time in the day. Priorities matter. Instead of tackling the issues that affect everyday people, the Democrats are wasting time on things that don’t move the needle for most Americans. It’s a disappointing shift, and it leaves many of us wondering: Who do they really represent now?

And that's all one needs to know this account will never post anything serious. If he actually cared about free speech, he wouldn't be ranting about Democrats. He'd be righteously declaiming the Trump administration's deportation of students lawfully here on visa because they engaged in speech about Israel that he doesn't like.

They're taking a vacation because the current prez is such an expert in all things and only he can fix things that there's literally nothing left for anyone in either party to do except sit back and watch all the winning.

I’m not debunking every last one of these, but to pick one—the negotiated price reductions in medications—it’s actually a deal they made in exchange for extending patents on certain drugs so that they can continue to charge higher prices overall. It’s called evergreening the patents. Biden gets to announce that he made a tough negotiation for the public while actually giving away a benefit to the drug company.

This is pretty much all they do all the time.

Maybe this is what’s wrong with the democrats. Instead of addressing the statement, he assigns an opinion to me I’ve never stated, and then accuses me of hypocrisy based on this straw man argument.

Part of the issue is, MAGA media only focuses on the issues it knows will generate the most outrage and fear amongst its audience, and paints the narrative it wants to promote. Which is why you have MAGAs declaring that the Democratic Party is "pro-transgender warmongers" in a dismissive huff.

Does this person not know they are on a forum where we can clearly see how much trans ideology means to the left, or how often they have supported every military intervention that comes up?

The phone call is coming from inside the house!

Feel free to cite posts substantiating your claim.

What happened to the Republican party?

See, I can post one-sided opinionated threads as well.

Oh no! I focused on one issue in my post. How reckless of me!

Thanks for the totally useless input.

Nothing upsets a forum hall monitor more than not playing by their imaginary rulebook.

And your "opinions" were stated and we read them.

Yes, this is how a forum works. Thank you for your succinct description.

I love the scare quotes around “opinions”—nothing says ‘I don’t have a real counterpoint’ like sarcastic punctuation.

 

[Crakhobarbie]

Did your God tell you the trans woman is an abomination?
Did your young Son start painting his fingernails after watching an episode of Drag Race?
Did your Wife have an affair with a promoter of Drag Queen Storytime?

Why is it that you fight so hard to deny trans folk their Constitutional right to equal protection?

This is usually how threads like this go, where one expects everyone else to agree with their assertions. And when people don't, they get defensive. So no counterpoint is needed. Yours was a partisan posting to express your "opinion" about where the Democrats have gone wrong. Any disagreement with your partisan assertions would not have set well with you. But don't worry, I am sure there are a few on here that will be along shortly to give you a high five. Then you'll feel better.

 

[BirdinHand]

Democrats aren't in charge.

MAGA is.

How's that going?


LOL.

 

[Lycanthrope]

Are there transgenders in the room with you right now?

 

[Liberty One]

MAGA is.

LOL.

Why aren’t they in charge? Maybe because I’m right about them.

 

[Lycanthrope]

MAGA media has him convinced transgenders represent an existential threat to his faith, his nation, and his manhood.

Or maybe because a lot of people are stupid.

You don’t have to worry about what sits well with me.

And if you feel this way, why are you even here? No need to bother us with your ennui.

Straw man. Try again.

See what I mean? You don’t care about issues like health care, income inequality, endless foreign wars, crime or anything else most Americans actually care about. The trans issue is crowding all that out.

You guys are going to follow the trans piper off the cliff if you don’t give it up.

And here you are aping the hysteria MAGA media is telling you you need to have about transgenders.

You guys are in such pants wetting fear of them that all your party/media masters have to do is twitch and your hair's on fire over it.
