This is now I feel.  Not anywhere near as bad at local level though. Democrats at least.[/quote]

I'm the PP. I was thinking about this question last night. I feel like my #1 issue with the democrats is that they have used the R's behavior as an excuse to either stagnate or divide. Like I hate Trump, I really do, but we need a platform that is something more than "oahdkashfkjdshfdsjkfh do you see this guy?????????????????" Because as they have proven over time 'that guy' just changes, once it was McConnell, it was Boehner for a long time. Other people's bad behavior should not be an excuse to be intellectually lazy about putting a solid political agenda in place.

THIS is why middle america feels forgotten, because republicans say they care and then stab them in the back giving tax breaks to the rich while democrats just don't talk to them at all. We need to be focused on winning people over by policies that effect their lives not just by saying, 'you don't want to be a racist loser who supports TRUMP RIGHT?'[/quote]

This is strangely thoughtful for this board.

The Democrats have a shtick based on claiming to be better than the horrible, awful Republicans. It sounds to me a lot like the classic 'nice guys' routine, those who think they've figured how awful 'the other guys' are and then think that women are then obligated to get with them.

Democrats: get over yourselves and work on earning the trust of a larger part of the population. Republicans rule by getting a minority very, very worked up. Find ways to get substantially larger majorities and watch the Republicans become yesterday's news. And if you're struggling here's a hint: stop thinking your ideas and especially your donors' comforts are sacrosanct![/quote]
