Things we as Democrats can take comfort in and be proud of [View all]
There quite a few. I am going to list some but please do add to it if you are so inclined:
We are the party that is inclusive.
We are the party that gave all Americans Social Security and Medicare
We are the party that passed civil rights bills and fights for equality for all citizens
We are the party that gave our nation the Affordable Care Act
There are many many more.
The reason I am posting this is to give some contrast to the other party. You know the one. They have given us:
The big lie
An attempted coup against our government over a rightfully elected President
Overturning Roe v Wade
Fights against basic freedoms for several groups of people most notably African-Americans, LGBTQ and, hispanics
They do not believe in equal pay for women
Waterboarding and torture
Massive tax cuts to the top one percent
An illegal war
Iran-Contra
Trickle down economics
The Walter Reed Hospital scandal
Thoughts and prayers rather than actions following a mass shooting in schools or elsewhere
Watergate
And plenty more.
How close to half our nation can accept this as fine is mind boggling and numbing. It is getting late in the game
for my generation to do something about this. Here is hoping that your generation or the next can overcome this once and for all.
