[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Been a democrat all my life, voted for Obama, Clinton and reluctantly for Biden over the last election.
What happened to the party? This use to be the party of free speech, anti-war, about freedom of religion and about helping the poor and disaffected that were hurt by the pains of globalization.

I have seen over the past decade the party being completely co-opted by the military industrial complex, to the point where people are foaming at the mouth over wanting to fight in Ukraine. I have seen the party completely ditch the struggling blue collar worker to get into bed with large tech billionaires. I have seen it now completely on the side of censorship and the use of authoritarian tactics when it comes with dealing with oppositional speech.

The democratic party now reminds me of the neocons of the Bush era? Anyone else get this feeling?

Our politicians are bought by corporations.  Neither side gives a F about workers. [/quote]
Except that Democrats supports workers’ rights, unions, workers safety, C suite sharing profits with the employees who helped earn those profits, minimum wage and living wages, health care for all and the GOP opposes all of the above.

So yeah. Samesies. Both sides. Orrrrr anyone both sidesing this is a garbage Republican. [/quote]
PP here. Agreed. No not the same. I’m a Democrat and will never vote for the current GOP.  I believe in climate change. I’m pro choice. Support LBGTQ rights.  I’m scared of the Christian fascists. Im pro workers’ rights. But I still think the powerful on both sides do not have the interests of the average American at heart.  It all boils down to money and the 1% having all the power. [/quote]

Why is Joe going to the Picket line and how exactly does that help the 1%?[/quote]

Trump also went to Detroit. [/quote]
Trump is planning a Trump rally in Clinton Township, 25 miles from Detroit. That’s not even close to the equivalent of walking the UAW picket line. At least you tried?[/quote]

I answered why our president is going to Detroit. I’ll bet you know more about Clinton Twp than my neighborhood in the Detroit city limits. [/quote]
What?[/quote]
