What gets you so motivated to go out, campaign, donate, protest, and vote for these policies? This is just a sampling of policies Democrats like.


Open borders

Being energy dependent

Inflation

Fuel prices

Federally controlled elections

More powerful China

Taxpayer funded abortions for fully developed 3rd trimester babies

Giant, mega international billionaires funding and controlling all of your policies

Larger federal government and less powerful local governments

Pelosi engaging in insider trading without repercussions

Biden taking kickbacks from China and Ukraine for pay for play favorable policy

Loss of freedom (speech, 2nd ammendment, 4th ammendment)

Shrinking middle class and small businesses struggling

Transgender surgeries for children without their parental consent

Jobs being shipped overseas

Not having school choice for kids that want better schools

The ability to project and not get called out by the media.

They'll tell you Republicans and Trump are responsible for all of those things. And some will even do it with a straight face.

Don't forget laxing criminal punishments to increase crime.

Most of them truly don’t know. All they know is that they have been told by social media, Hollywood/entertainment, sports, and news media that they should support Democrats. That’s it.

Never underestimate the pure stupidity and bandwagon jumping tendencies of the average American. If somehow magically tomorrow those mentioned above told them to support Republicans, they would follow suit. It’s sad and pathetic, but true.

Like with most people who align with a political party, their main driving point is just political football. They want to win and they want Republicans to lose. Policies and values have very little to do with it.

If you're relatively left-wing socially, economically capitalist, it fits the Democrats more than the Republicans right now.

There's a reason why middle-class people have begin voting for Democrats. Democrats won college-educated people by over 15 points last election.

Anything anti-American, that will knock the country down to size.

Republicans have become far too anti-free-trade and anti-globalization for my liking. Tariffs and protectionism aren't for me.

I work at a banking firm. I really should be voting for the Republicans so that tells you something.

I'm fortunate enough to make over $100K and I'm still a capitalist but I think immigration is pretty necessary for a country with an ageing population, that free trade is good for the country, and I wasn't a fan of Trump's rhetoric on any issue. I also don't think manufacturing is coming back and the US needs to continue its transition to a service-based economy.

I much preferred Mitt Romney and would probably vote for the Republicans if someone like him was running.
