Willful ignorance. There are plenty of reasons to vote Democrat. You and I just don’t like those reasons so much as some people do.

hmm - I am asking for someone to actually ARTICULATE on of their reasons to "VOTE BLUE" this election - and the ONLY response I have gotten is from a (presumably) conservative poster = ABORTION RIGHTs.

Name one are two if you will - please. You don't have to provide a full discourse - just a note or two of what the DEMs will do about that particular 'reason'

T.l.A.

Well that’s not what you originally asked; I answered your original question.

As far as what they will DO...not much. That’s why they lose more often than not. Their promises sound way better than the GOP’s do, but their performance is notoriously subpar.

So what? Are you saying that blacks shouldn't be able to utilize government benefits just as white people do?

What the hell?

You sound desperate.

Well, then I'd hope your insurance policy is paid up, because 100% of braggarts like Trump are full of shite, and are braggarts for the sole purpose of distracting you from that fact.

What are you looking for here? I mean, Republicans and Democrats are usually on opposite sides of the healthcare debate. So that's one huge issue.

Defense is another. Republicans want a blank check for the military. Democrats generally do not favor increases (or favor decreases).

Environment. Democrats generally support things like CAFE. Republicans often do not.

To date, he hasn't done anything that hurts either party.

Tax cuts, hasn't killed a single person and grandparents aren't eating catfood.

He hasn't touched entitlements.

He has cut taxes, slashed regulations most of which the average person has no clue what they were or what they did.

It's hate for no other reason than he is the other side.

Yes - those are the types of things I'd like to see discussed - not only here, but on the CAMPAIGN trail. \

I have seen no DEM campaigning on the specifics of what they would want to do to address those issues in a manner that could be analyzed by an informed voter.

Have you???

You pay for someone else either way, I'd just prefer we do it in a more efficient manner.

Spoiler Alert: You don't have to be DEM to 'hate Trump.'

Here's the basis for my hatred:
Lifelong buddies with the Clintons and the establishment.
Signed a bill to extend and expand government surveillance on its citizens
Is currently helping the Saudis commit genocide in Yemen
Is currently picking up the establishment agenda in the Middle East and running with it. (See Yemen. See recent deployment in Afghanistan).
Continues to fatten up the MIC with my tax dollars.
Continues to surround himself with establishment pillars like John Bolton and Rudy Giuliani, etc.
Signaled he is fully on board with the establishment by appointing cuck Jerome Powell to head the Federal Reserve.
He's an embarrassment to my country every time he opens his mouth, and involves himself on social media platform designed to excite junior high Drama Queens.
Plays along with establishment propaganda at every turn.

I could go on, but you get the point.

I have conceded that the only thing that motives DEMOCRATs that they are willing to articulate is their hatred for Trump. I will not debate any of your reasons = many are silly = more are inaccurate = but not woth spending time on. I agree - DEMOCRATs in this midterm are motivated by Trump hatred.

I can't either. But then again, I cannot think of anything at all that would motivate any American to want REPUBLICANS in control.

I dont want the GOPe in control either - but I'd rather them than the DEMOCRAT party which is intent on 'fundamentally changing America" into something totally foreign to our founding, our history, our experiences.

I am a conservative - not a Republican - I only vote that way because it is the most effective, diametrically opposite to socialism, option that I have on election day.

The conservative motive is to maintain our constitution. DEMOCRATs for the past 40 years have been chipping away at the constitution via the SCOTUS. Which is why my number ONE touchstone for those past 40 years is = "who will appoint constitutionally devoted judges for the SCOTUS." Unfortunately, the GOPe has not been completely satisfactory in that regard - allowing a great number of milquetoasts onto the court who can be persuaded by current social fads.

No justice appointed by a DEMOCRAT president in my memory has ever been anything but a radical left wing activist. I can tell you with close to 100% certainty how every DEM appointed justice will rule on any issue that involves 'social justice' - regardless of the merits of the case. And I am not a student of the law - just an observer of the political scene.

So apart from constitutional government, people should vote for GOP (conservative) government if they want to preserve our defense status. As I said before - I am more than anxious to discuss ridding the defense budgets of overspending, corruption, and overlap = IF, and only if, the same examination of all other Federal agencies is subjected to the same criteria.

I don't want the DEMs to conduct a raiding party on the the defense appropriations just so waste on their pie-in-the-sky social justice desires.

People should want GOP (conservatives) in control if they want to maintain capitalism - keep a strong economy - expand the middle class - reduce the welfare drain - control our borders - protect religious freedom - protect free speech = i.e. all the constitutional protections.

The current DEMOCRAT party is controlled by perverse anti-American ideologues. Their motive seems to be = first destroy America as it exists and create a new 'workers' paradise' in its ashes = same recipe that has been used by socialists in the past from Lenin on down.

People should vote for GOP (conservatives) if they want to protect the nuclear family as the model going forward as the basis of our civilization. Every major initiative the DEMOCRAT party has implemented has been to undermine the prominence of a nuclear family as the backbone of our society. They have all but forced the black male out of the family unit for huge swaths of the black community.

I have numerous reasons why GOP (conservative) governance should be preferable to anything the DEMOCRATs have offered in the past 40 years., but I am pretty sure this falls under tl:dr already - if you want more give and take on any issue I am ready.

Propaganda does work - and represents driving force behind the bulk of DEMOCRAT support.

Methinks, however, that you are confusing TRUTH and RATIONALE as 'propaganda' while adoring real PROPAGANDA as accurate representation.

Well, at least you posted some stuff worth responding to, not much insight shown by you, but better than nothing.
