    What exactly will democrat voters be voting for ? ...

    I can understand why the dead vote democrat - it's because
    their brains have rotted. I'm assuming the illegals vote democrat
    because the overwhelming majority of them are either uneducated,
    or at best undereducated. But I'm at a loss to understand why those
    who don't fall under the above categories vote the democrat ticket.
    As far as I'm aware, the only things the various liberal politicians have
    promised their potential voters are; to repeal the tax cuts, to re-introduce
    obamacare and to impeach Trump and Kavanaugh. What would induce
    a person of normal intelligence to vote for this pathetic platform ?

    They don't coverage denied for pre-existing medical conditions.

      No insurance company unless it wished to go bankrupt, would
      knowingly begin insuring a person whom they knew was ill and
      had enormous and crippling medical bills.
      They have to be forced by Government which is exactly what
      obama's administration did. And of course anything once given
      cannot be taken away.
      NOTE: obama and his democrats used the power of government
      to force this on insurers guaranteeing everyone else's premium
      to increase dramatically.

        Togor do you ever sleep? Maybe you need a little more sleep.
        Democrats are the party of the poor. And the thoughtless.
        And the people who are thoughtless and rich. And the mentally disabled.
        The people who smoke dope(and go on to other drugs). The people who think they are women trapped in a mans body who think they are lesbians.
        The dead vote democrat; that's over. Now it's a 'software problem'.
        I hope there are some real democrats who can stand up for what they believe in and not whiny, why not me stuff. If your life sucks, there's a reason for that.
        If I should die before I wake...great,a little more sleep.

          dryheat, Manchin has made pre-existing conditions a centerpiece of his campaign in WV, a big Trump state, and he may well win. And sometimes the choice is between the Bible-Thumping Nut Job and the Democrat, and the Democrat wins (see Jones, Doug, State of Alabama).

          Half the votes in the country go to Democrats. If someone wants to say "hate 'em, not my tribe" well ok, whatever. If someone wants to say "half the country is dumb and can't vote their own self-interest", well that's a bit snobbish, yeah, to say that people can't be trusted to make their own choices? Also what some of them say about you.

            So selling out your country in the hope of recruiting future members for your own traitorous "tribe" isn't legit grounds for hatred? Don't have to belong to any particular "tribe" to see clearly who is destroying your country & way of life by encouraging & enabling invasion by Turd Worlders.

                What's interesting is I haven't found a position from the Democratic Party that I can support and I've an open minded independent thinker.

                  They vote for this ----> (D)
                  The majority have been trained to vote that way and that's all they care about. Don't believe me? Try talking to a Chicago Machine Democrat. Issues be damned.

                    If the state legislature candidates debate I attended last night is any indication, D voters want free health care so that they may eat and smoke to their heart's content, more money poured into primary and secondary education without any corresponding emphasis on results and do something about climate change. There was not any mention of gov't as leading in preventative health initiatives, revamping the school system to focus on the basics (as opposed to stuff which interests the teachers) and forest health oriented management policies as opposed to kowtowing to the enviros fixation on letting the National Forests go through a five hundred year life cycle.

                    Oh and don't do anything to make it tougher to get stoned.

                      Try talking to most union members, brainwashed since they joined their union to believe that ONLY Dems cared about their jobs, despite the Dems support of NAFTA & similar trade deals, & that Repubs were their mortal enemies. Even having a strong interest in guns can't overcome this pounded-in reflex attitude! Got into exactly such a futile discussion with a member of my shooting club, long retired but still a fanatical unionist--NOTHING, not even Trump's attempts to get fairer foreign trade deals, can make him believe that Repubs aren't out to ruin blue-collar workers.

                        I was living outside Detroit for the Detroit Newspapers Strike in the mid '90s.

                        The strike was about the decision by the newspapers to institute merit pay raises. As a spokesperson for the strikers said, "That means you'd have to please your boss to get a raise!" (well, DUH!)

                        The press operators walked out in sympathy, saying, "If management thinks THEY can run the presses, they're crazy!' And management said, "This is EASY. We've been employing WAY too many people in the press room."

                        The strike dragged on and on -- to the point where if the strikers got everything they were demanding, they'd still have lost so much pay that they could never catch up! The union used them as cannon fodder -- hoping that by winning there, they could scare corporations in other industries.

                        They failed, of course. And the newspaper workers paid the price.

                          They don't see it that way of course. And they see your faction as trying to drag the country backwards in time to a world that is dead. I'm in my own faction with feet in both worlds.

                            You're a little mistaken. I've been union nearly all my working life and I still carry a UBC card now that I'm retired. I have NEVER voted Dem for a federal position and a lot of like-minded union tradesmen can claim the same.
                            We know who butters our bread and a poor man has never signed one of our paychecks.

                              Togor it seems that nothing positive for America is to your liking, which concludes that the downfall of America is to your liking. I have long suspected that not having a stake in America you care not. As your name states, a non-American.
