So I Guess the New Democratic Party Platform Is Violence?

[Deleted User 203]

A good portion of my/our extended family are Republicans. However, there are a few Democrats (my husband being one and youngest Dd; she is switching to Republican) as well, all of which are ashamed of the behavior of the Left.

I would have to say that IMO, a sizable amount of more mid-line, Moderate, and old school Democrats have had enough of the BS being displayed within their party too.

The key to ME is for these folks to disassociate with the Left's behavior and to even denounce it. This just might help them in the midterms as well as for 2020.

That would be smart for them to go against the hate they are portraying. Even Michelle Obama said it. They are too worried now about1/1024th warren being native american

It's my very strong belief that a part of why Trump is our POTUS....the election and given his behavior, the rumors, the truths...and so on...is because H. Clinton was the Democrat's candidate for President in 2016. Popular vote holds as much weight in this country (and much to the chagrin of many) as a sale on crappy TV's on Black Friday.

The more mainstream, mid-line Democrats need to rally together, and make it ABUNDANTLY clear that they're done with the things being pulled especially by the Left.

Otherwise, it will be four more years of Trump as POTUS. And in turn, four more years of tantrum-throwing by the same Left.

You believe there to be a substantial number of mainstream democrats left in the party?

I do, yes. However, I also have to wonder why they've yet to denounce the extreme Left and their behaviors? Why they seem to be kowtowing to the actions of this fraction of their party?

My thought is that they don't exist in any quantity that would afford them a voice.

But I want to inspire change!
Change worked so well for an Administration not too long ago.
Didn't you learn anything?

Democrats, pay no attention to this one-

Keep doing what you are doing - absolutely everyone loves it, you are set to win everything in 21 days.

Do not change a thing.

I saw an alert last night from New England Cable News that police were investigating an envelope of powder mailed to Senator Collins of Maine.

My Mom, from up there, is pissed at the Democrats for all the hatred and violence they are now directing at the Senator.

All this violence and intimidation to vote certain ways has got to stop.

I think their numbers are higher than many might suspect but a good portion of them, again, are screwing things up for their party in their behavior alone.

Part of the “silent majority” perhaps? I wonder if some aren’t being vocal because they know they will probably be attacked, at least verbally, by the very angry far left.

I have heard people say that it wasn’t so much that they left the democrat party, but the democrat party left them.

I've heard and read that as well.

My youngest Dd was so excited to finally be a registered voter and she felt at the time that the Democrat party was more aligned with her beliefs and what she wanted from/for our country.

Then the 2016 election came about and the behavior of so many of the Democrats after , especially around Inauguration Day and since, and she's decided to change her party.

My husband is fed-up with both parties though he's a registered Democrat. He is finding himself becoming more of a Moderate as he's gotten older.
