It used to be said that the democrats were for the working class Americans. They were very much nationalist. Growing up, I heard that the democrats were for the working man.
And it seemed there was some truth to that.
They were the first to support fences along our southern borders, to keep illegals from coming here taking the working mans job.
They used to support doing something about the Federal Reserve, who continually over inflated the value of the USD, forcing the value of the USD into the toilet.
They fought for womens rights.
They fought against true racism.
IIRC, they fought against Reagan opening up so much foreign investment.
Their biggest selling point to NAFTA, was how many American jobs it would create.

But apparently, all of that was just a lie to get votes. Because now, not only is the left supporting more jobs leaving the US with these trade deals. They actually fought against Trump and his trade war with China. A war that Trump supported because so many American jobs have left for China.
They don't support shutting down our southern border to keep illegals and soooo many supposed refugee's out.
They don't say a word about how the over inflated USD is causing $10hr to become a poverty wage.
They'd rather fight for the transgirl to beat up on biological women in sports. Especially high school sports. In fact, if a biological female is opposed to transgirls competing against biological females, they're quick to bash the real female.
When it comes to racism, they support a democrat lead system that keeps more minorities in the ghetto and hooked on welfare. Fact: When a black person that didn't allow anything to keep them from success, and speaks out against the racist system, he's called an "Uncle Tom," or some other childish name.
Also, the left cares more about the homeless violent thugs, more so than their victims. They want to see druggies get free drugs, a place where they can do these drugs (paid for with tax dollars), where the police aren't allowed. They'll say it's "inhumane" to take a violent druggy thug out and away from a free society. Like in prison, where they can't create a victim in the free world. In fact, you rarely hear the left stand up for victims of the violent druggy thugs. Even though many of their victims are working class Americans.

I'm no republican (not my any stretch of the imagination). But I swear the left has lost their minds.

They were also racist as hell. You miss that about them. Don't you?

I don't think it was lies as much as it was a shift in priorities within the parties. Democrats and big business have been aligned for quite some time now but lately it's gotten too blatant to hide.

It's a good thing repukes aren't supported by big business. I was worried there until I saw your post.

No, you're not a Republican. You're a Trump supporting "conservative". You are very different than a real Republican. Just like Trump was not a Republican. Still isn't.

Run a better candidate in 2024 if Biden makes you cry.

Rambling? Ok...

Correct, I claim I'm not a republican because I don't trust or support the GOP. And haven't for 10 years. The last republican I supported was a libertarian with a Republican label. And he was THE ONLY republican I supported. And the only reason I supported him was because he was a conservative. So it only stands to reason, since 99% of the republicans aren't conservative, that I don't support the Republican party. In fact, I don't support any party. Including the Libertarian party. I support much of their platform. But over the last few years, even libertarians don't actually support much of their own platform.
And considering that the Libertarians support legalizing most, if not all drugs, open borders and gotten overly supportive of the transmovement, I'm supporting less and less of their platform.
I vowed many years ago to never be a loyal party member to any party.

But don't let that take away from the way of the new Democrat party. The one that doesn't support working class Americans any longer. So, as much as you want to make this personal, please at least try to stay focused and on topic. Try not to make it about me. I enjoy the attention. Really I do. But this isn't about me.

There's no such thing as a "Trump supporting conservative." For the simple fact that Trump was far from being a conservative.

Personally, I think the democrats have always been as fascist as the GOP. Back in the 70's, 80's and part of the 90's, they just hid it very well. After all, 99% of all the major actual wars, it was the democrats that got us involved. The ones the republicans got us into, was fully supported and funded by the democrats.
Did you happen to notice Pelosi not even trying to impeach W for war crimes? As in Invading Iraq on falsified information? Apparently they knew the info was false too. But still backed W in his agenda to keep the Fed Res. in power throughout the middle east. And to make sure American companies like Haliburton got their huge profits.
 
Need a tissue?

Not me. I'm becoming more and more apathetic towards politics and politicians. But the America working class might need a party that actually stands up for them more so than the few transgender people. Or the homeless violent druggies that don't even vote.
 
The nonsense where people pretend republicans give a shit about workers has to end. All republicans do is cut regulations to companies can exploit and make more money, and give then tax breaks. Who the F do you people think you are kidding? You can say "im not republicans "all you want, but your posts show otherwise if you actually think republicans do anyhting for working man.

At the very least, it is democrat voters that fight for the working man, not people who just want tax breaks to millionaires and nothing else. how does this not align witht he working man?

1. Democrats fight for universal healthcare, a huge help to workers, healthcare costs can bankrupt them
2. Democrats fight for higher wages, higher min wages, so people can not starve and be near homeless from working full time job or even more.
3. More taxes on the wealthy to go to things to actually help the people.
4. Infrastructure- this will help the working many by not having crumbling infrastructure, having better water, roads, etc.

Republicans do nothing but pander to the business owners, so please spare us typical projecting blame of things on democrats. Republicans ,and their base, have shown time and time again they don't even hide their disdain for the working man.

YEah, they try to hide and pretend they are independent. No, they are just know nothing right wingers like them all

Neo! Welcome to reality. I know reality sucks, and it is better to believe that left and right really are two separate things, but there is only one political class and you ain't in it. But, you do have to pay for it.

Again, this thread isn't about me. I know you lefties can't help but try to get personal with EVERYONE that's not a lefty. But at least try to focus on the topic of how the Democratic party no longer even hides the fact that they're not fighting for the American working class.

1. LMAO. Funny, Biden is not a supporter of universal healthcare. And he got the DNC nomination. Explain that one.
2. If the democrats would take on the Federal Reserve, they wouldn't have to increase the minimum wages. $10hr wouldn't be a poverty wage.

I did not claim they did not back republicans too. Democrats are the ones who claim they are not attached which is clearly false. Your whataboitism does not hide that Democrats are in the hip pockets of industry leaders.

You don't realize that The "DEM-REP Monopoly" in DC are just playing Bad Cop-Worse Cop with you...
Also it would be best for you to realize why American is a CONSTITUTIONAL REPBULIC and not a DEMOCRACY !

They all are beholden to big business. Focusing on on party just shows your bias.

Despite Republican opposition, there are still very good union jobs. You said Democrats used to be for the working man, well they still are, and I should know, having worked a union job which provided me a good wage, job security and early retirement from that job with a solid pension. This is what the right abhors and fights against! They try to union bust at every turn.
You sound like you are being fed the radical right talking points, and the truth is a little more, as they say, somewhere in-between.

American jobs began the process of leaving for China in the 1980s, the Reagan era. Prroooooffiiiiittsssss!!!!!!! A very well loved word among big business and their well paid political toadies, and that's profits at all costs except to them.

Thanks for the video. I'll watch it in a few minutes.

But yes, I do understand the duopoly very well. So well I haven't voted for one in many years. And for much of the same reason. Many of the same gripes I have about the democrats, I have for the republicans too.
