Democrats Versus Republicans

Featured Video Play Icon

The late, great civil rights icon John Lewis explains what it means to be a Democrat in the above video.

Democrats believe in Democracy, the right for everyone to Vote, the right of men and women to live a life that is free of want and deprivation, a life in which hard work gets a good wage, in which the right to join a Union is not enjoined, and the right to fall in love and marry the person you choose is your choice not a politician’s, and the timing of having children (or not) is the choice of the couple having them.  This is what Democrats have stood for, and what Republicans have fought against.

This speech by FDR shows how Republican haven’t changed in keeping people from voting who’s not likely to vote for them, except they have become far more brazen and extreme in their voting obstruction tactics.

Republicans accuse Democrats of being fiscally irresponsible. But time and again, it’s the Democrats who are forced to clean up the economic messes they inherit from Republicans. Former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich breaks down how the next Democratic administration will have to deal with the consequences of the GOP’s tax cut for the rich and the soaring debt and deficit that followed — in order to preserve and expand Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

The Stark Contrast Between Pelosi’s Accomplishments And The 2023 House GOP Agenda

“When you compare Jim Jordan in his shirtsleeves wailing about Hunter Biden’s laptop, to the pillars of the American social welfare state that Nancy Pelosi has overseen, that is exactly what the two different parties stand for at this moment.”

 

REPUBLICAN Trump issued nearly 150 corrupt pardons and commutations at the end of his disastrous presidency… some as rewards to his own staff who broke the law. By contrast, DEMOCRAT Biden granted pardons to six individuals who served their sentences and demonstrated a commitment to improving their communities.

 

When you vote for Republicans, your voting for tax breaks for the RICH… no minimum wage, having Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and Healthcare eliminated

Former Republican David Jolly unleashes on the ‘rotten to the core’ politicians of the GOP

These are, in today’s Republican party, spineless politicians rotten to the core without virtue, without any level of human integrity, devoid of self respect, self reflection…Without courage and without the moral compass to recognize their own malevolence.’

“There is no greater example of selling your soul to a charlatan than what Republicans are doing right now in the House and the Senate,” he added. “And their legacies are on the line just as much as Donald Trump’s.”

Jolly was a lifelong Republican until he jumped ship in 2018. Before then, he served in Congress from 2014 to 2017 following the death of his boss. He ran for Senate in 2016 but dropped out when Marco Rubio opted to seek a second term.  (Source: marketwatch.com/story/former-republican-unleashes-on-the-rotten-to-the-core-politicians-of-the-gop-2019-11-05)

 

Today’s Republicans have no principles or policies. The more insane & disruptive GOP politicians behave, the more they are liked & supported by GOP voters.

Why Matt Gaetz Is A Product Of The Modern Republican Party

The reason we are where we are today is because the old school Republicans didn’t stand up to the crazies. They embraced them, however uneasily. And now the crazies are ascendant,” says Mehdi Hasan. “And John Boehner wants to be celebrated for calling them crazy.”

 

While most of us have been disgusted by the actions of Republicans like Lauren Boebert – who insists on doing interviews in front of a wall of guns – the people who put her in office are absolutely loving it. They believe that this shows that she is a strong supporter of the 2nd Amendment, and that resonates all-too-well with the people who will continue to vote for her in the future.

 

Republicans Will Keep Getting Crazier Until They Face Consequences

An opinion piece in The Washington Post this week expounds upon a point made by John Boehner in his new book, and that is that the Republican Party is just going to continue getting “crazier” until they face some real consequences for their actions. This is absolutely true, but they have arguably already faced some consequences by losing the Presidency and the Senate in last year’s election.

 

Republicans have proven they support insane, disguising and lawless Conduct. The above video shows an unhinged Donald Trump engaging in disgusting conduct in front of women & children during a rally in Minnesota regarding Lisa Page & Peter Struck.

 

 

While the majority of Americans were shocked and horrified by Trump inciting a riot causing violence, 5 deaths, insurrection and sedition, GOP Congressmen refused to Impeach & Remove him while 70%+ of Republican voters continue to support him proving how lawless most Republicans are.

 

Republicans must lie to survive: They have no other choice

From Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump, the path to Republican political success is rooted in profound deception

Republicans must lie to survive: They have no other choice

Per the above article; “From Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump, the path to Republican political success is rooted in profound deception.

As the party of the wealthy and big business, how in the world can it convince the working class to vote for its candidates?

The problem is simple. The GOP exists to serve the interests of the wealthy and big business that comprise the richest 1%. No party, however, can ever win an election with only 1% of the vote. So to win elections, the GOP must necessarily reach beyond its own wealthy core and attempt to convince a large segment of working people in the 99% to vote for Republicans.

The masters at the top require the GOP to maintain policies that favor the richest 1% and disfavor the working class. So Republican policies will necessarily be profoundly unpopular to the 99%. Therefore, the GOP could never receive much more than 1% of the vote and thus could never win elections.

Normally, a political party wins elections by offering policies that benefit the voters. These policies attract the voters who then cast their votes for the political party.

But for the Republican Party, this is not an option. A candidate could not possibly campaign on the policies favored by the 1%. Just imagine the stump speech. “Vote for me and I will slash your health care! In fact, I’ll do even better — I’ll fight like mad to completely eliminate your health care!”

“Vote for me and I will get rid of your pensions! This would save corporations a bundle and boost profits to the shareholders! Screw the workers!”

“Vote for me and I promise to ship your jobs overseas under globalization! The exact same labor can be hired in Asia for only pennies! Hurray!” This, of course, is not going to work.

The Republican Party is left with only one option. It cannot possibly be honest about its true intentions and actual policies. The working class would never vote for them. Instead, the only option is to lie. This is a matter of life or death for the party. The survival of the Republican Party itself depends upon lying”.

 

Study: Media Fact-Checker Says Republicans Lie More

Press Release May 28, 2013 Contact: Katy Davis A leading media fact-checking organization rates Republicans as less trustworthy than Democrats, according to a new study by the Center for Media and …

According to PolitiFact, Republicans Lie Three Times More Often Than Democrats.

The study found Republicans to be less trustworthy than Democrats, based on the number of false claims made during President Obama‘s second term.

The study, by Center for Media and Public Affairs (CMPA) at George Mason University, took into account 100 PolitiFact-checked statements made by Democrats (46 claims) and Republicans (54 claims) in the first four months of Obama’s second term.

“PolitiFact rated 32% of Republican claims as “false” or “pants on fire,” compared to 11% of Democratic claims – a 3 to 1 margin. Conversely, Politifact rated 22% of Democratic claims as “entirely true” compared to 11% of Republican claims – a 2 to 1 margin”.

“A majority of Democratic statements (54%) were rated as mostly or entirely true, compared to only 18% of Republican statements. Conversely, a majority of Republican statements (52%) were rated as mostly or entirely false, compared to only 24% of Democratic statements”.

CMPA President Dr. Robert Lichter stated: “While Republicans see a credibility gap in the Obama administration, PolitiFact rates Republicans as the less credible party.”

The reason Republicans can get away with lying more than Democrats is because Republican constituents has been conditioned to not trust the “Liberal Media”. So they are more likely to not question lies from Republican politicians.

When the news media calls out Republicans lies, average Joe Republican voters feels the “Liberal Media” is picking on the person who’s lying and lets the lies slide.

 

Republicans Are On the Wrong Side of History-and Everything Else!

Republicans are conserving little beyond their own wealth, racism, sexism, and homophobia, while eroding American democracy, health, and the environment.

Per the above article: “Republicans are on the wrong side of history—and everything else—and conservatism is a dead end”.

“So-called conservatives are actually regressives and reactionaries, pushing us down to a worse state of being. Republicans are conserving little beyond their own wealth, racism, sexism, and homophobia, while eroding American democracy, health, and the environment. Progressives, in contrast, have brought us forward to a better world and continue to do so. Progressive ideology and action is what makes America as great, civilized, and advanced as it is, despite its continuing shortcomings, which progressives seek to repair”.

“Progressivism has brought us independence from England, slave abolitionism, racial desegregation, women’s suffrage, minimum wages and maximum hours, Social Security and Medicare, civil rights and civil liberties, clean air and clean water laws, pure food laws, public education, public libraries, public parks, public transportation, public health, public housing, pay equity, net neutrality, consumer, worker, health, and environmental protections, women’s rights, human rights, welfare, food programs, unemployment insurance, birth control and abortion rights, unions, paid vacation and sick leave, separation of church and state, anti-discrimination laws, racial and sexual marriage equality, a reduction in poverty, gun reform and protections, protections against corporate monopolies, medical and recreational marijuana, freedom of expression, the Peace Corps and AmeriCorps, and most of the rest of the public sphere that civilizes and enhances our society. Conservatives have opposed all these and other vital achievements throughout our history”.
