[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. I’m a deeply disillusioned lifelong Democrat who basically despises the entire Democratic party now, but cannot stomach voting Republican. It’s stuff like this that is why. It’s just too endemic in the Republican party. [/quote]

Same, very frustrated with Democrats, but I cannot stomach how the Republican party overlooks this stuff with "whataboutism." As a woman, also cannot stomach how they embrace Christian nationalists like Hesgeth or Kirk who use the bible as an excuse for viewing women as subservient. [/quote]

PP here. I agree, though truthfully [b]I don’t think that the Democrats are better as far as viewing women as subservient.[/b] They just use different language.

But these texts are consistent with the whataboutism language of Republicans (they just dismiss it) and it’s revolting. The lack of concern is horrible. [/quote]

2 of the last three nominees for president were women.
Pro-choice so women can manage their own bodies
Pro child care, so women who want to, can partake in the work place
Pro-equal pay, so women and men earn the same salary for the same work

I could go on, but really not sure how you get to the bolded.[/quote]

This is off topic for this thread, and you can start a different thread if you are truly interested, but one of the absolutely most distasteful aspects of the modern Democratic Party is that the narrow world view they prescribe and hold is so dogmatic and quasi-religious in nature that they cannot conceive of disagreement. I am an extremely reluctant Democrat voter who believes that Democrats are as much male supremacists as the Republicans. And I am not the only one.

But getting back on track, I can’t vote for Republicans so long as this nonsense is a key part of their party, and it is. It is a bridge too far. So of the awful choices, it is the Democrats at this point. [/quote]

There is plenty of disagreement. Policy disagreement should be debated and compromised on. However, suggesting it is ok for racism and the other isms are not a policy disagreement. That is where the sidewalk ends.[/quote]

Had this convo with our then teen son who was arguing with me about Dems. I said, “it’s one thing to argue about foreign affairs, tax policy, etc, but when one party tells me that blacks, Jews, Latinos, women are the enemy, then I don’t care about one’s position on interhemispheric affairs or changing the tax rates, I will not vote for a single one.”[/quote]

Good distinction! [/quote]

Perhaps, but absolutely demonstrates the issues the Democrats face: the teen son sees Democrats as the monolithic establishment that ruthlessly suppresses dissent, while his more liberal and wealthy mom disagrees. That’s a recipe for electoral disaster. [/quote]

My teen sons think Trump is a loser and a moron. Don’t count your electoral chickens just yet.[/quote]

The teen sons of DCUM posters are not likely to be statistically relevant in any election. [/quote]

Which is it?  Are young men the most important demographic without which Democrats will never win another future election, or are they irrelevant?  Pick a lane.[/quote]
