So I don't have a choice in your poll.

You can call it a Social Contract and ideal. But there is a very important legal document that we can point to and use to bring cases to court.

I don't remember signing a contract where I would enter into an agreement with people who don't respect the rights of women, glbtq people, Hispanics, African Americans, Asians, and Muslims.

I would never voluntarily enter into such a contract.

They just don't understand that the GOP are doing nothing to help them. But if you travel around the country you find people are pretty similar. What separates them is bigotry, lack of political curiosity, xenophobia etc... but most people want to educate their kids, love freedom, love America, want a job, want health care, love social security, love medicare, think the rent is too damn high etc...
