In reply to the discussion: The Dems have only themselves to blame for the proliferation of Republicanoid zombies [View all]Lydia Leftcoast
(48,217 posts)and they have not made a case for why they're better than the Republicans. Hell, they barely challenge the Republicans.
The PR team has not trumpeted the list, which by the way, is a lot of little things that are either exaggerated or don't affect many people.
You know, if you'd give up your knee-jerk defense of everything the Dems do and get out here among ordinary people and hear their stories, you'd lose patience with the thirty years of lame excuses for letting the Republicans tear down everything that made this country great. You'd lose patience with Dems who not only don't fight the Republicans but actively continue their policies--hello? renewing the Patriot Act? Was that such a great accomplishment, renewing the worst assault on civil liberties in our lifetime?
I'm angry. I'm angry like abused children are angry at the parent who doesn't participate in the abuse but stands by and lets it happen. The Dems may be well-meaning, but they're out of touch and most of those in power have NO IDEA what their slavish obedience to their campaign contributors has cost the average American.
Your talking points aren't helping.
