What Happened to the Democratic Party?

Other than bending the cost curve for the only sustained period ever, bringing uninsurance to all-time lows, and improving health care quality and outcomes for tens of millions of Americans, sure. Or don’t you care about health care?

It is kind of ridiculous when someone makes a bad argument, then they act as they didn't make it when they are challenged on it.

So when I say that your best bet is to stay as healthy as you can so you avoid the healthcare system for as long as you can, you think that means I said you’ll never need healthcare at all.

You’re proving my point.

I just wish @Liberty One were better at it.

Where do they find these MAGA lately? The lot of them only seem to be good for stepping on rakes. Shouldn’t Donald have some certification process before they are qualified to run cover for him online?

You forgot to answer my question...
Where did you get the idea that transexuality is vile and disgusting?

Oh that’s easy, MAGA get all their talking points from the same place - the media.

It’s easy to tell when someone doesn’t actually understand a topic and they are just copying someone else’s words. No one says things like “bending the cost curve” or “uninsurance.” Most would say things like “making health care more affordable,” or “lowering the number of uninsured people.”

Understand the topics first, don’t just google it and copy and paste links as if that’s an argument.

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?

It true, the democratic party once known as the big tent party and the working man’s party has changed. But so too has the republican party. The change began when the democrats rid themselves of their conservative wing, the old solid democratic conservative south while the republicans were getting rid of their liberal win, the old Rockefeller liberals of the northeast. So much for the big tent party.

The Republican party used to rely on college grads and won that group from 1972 until 2008 when Obama won them, Romney won them back in 2012 but they went democratic in 2016, 2020 and 2024. Those with a high School or less education has gone democratic every year from 1972 with the exception of the Reagan years until 2016 when Trump won them, and he won them again in 2020 and again last year. The working class, blue collar workers were a democratic party staple. Trump won them last year and came within 5 points of winning the union household vote. Trump winning the working man’s vote was the first time since 1984 a republican presidential candidate won them.

There’s been a lot more changes, role reversals of how different groups of voters are now voting. The cause may be that the democratic party has constantly moved further and further left while the republican party has moved further and further right leaving more and more Americans without a political party to call home. Both are now filled with ideologues of the left and right.

Here is the Dems most important goal for their entire party:
FREE KILMAR GARCIA!!!!
If they accomplish that, they will have scored a major moral victory. Then they can focus on making AOC the next presidential candidate.

I certainly hope those with common sense realize I was being satirical with my comments about how the Dems look at the Garcia issues.
