I got bored and took a look at the Democratic Party's website. And... let me just show you.

By the way, I'm not trying to make a thread where Republicans and Democrats argue over who's more racist. I hate seeing Republicans invoke Lincoln aka Republican Jesus 1.0 (before Reagan aka Republican Jesus 2.0) and the racism of the Democrats as if that earns them brownie points with anyone, just as I hate seeing Democrats invoke the Southern Strategy myth to blame all their racism on Republicans while taking credit for the history of largely Republican civil rights legislation.

My thing is this. You can claim your party to be all about minorities in the here and now, fine whatever. You can divorce yourself from reality and your responsibility for being racist, claim you've turned over a new leaf and had a hand to fixing your past mistakes as a party, fine whatever. But you cannot ridiculously claim falsehoods about your party's history like this. The Democrats, whether or not they're racist now or stopped being racist with the passage of the Civil Rights Act, were absolutely fucking racist from the time of their creation to at minimum the 1960's. Even if the myth about all the racists becoming Republicans were true (it isn't) that still doesn't magically make Democratic history become full of racial equality and understanding.

The Democrats claim they've not only been fighting for the rights of several groups of people - ranging from blacks to women to workers to the elderly - but have been doing so for OVER 200 fucking years. That is an outstandingly horrendous lie. It's such a false claim that the Democrat's own historical timeline of achievements for American's rights starts in 1920! Gee, what about all the good shit Democrats were doing before then throughout the 1800's? I mean, Democrats have been doing good stuff for OVER 200 years, right? Like... uhm... helping blacks, women, seniors and laborers... right? Oh they expanded slavery, instituted segregation, opposed suffrage, and crushed labor unions? Huh.

Republicans are usually historically ignorant and/or misinformed, but Democrats will absolutely lie about anything. The buck never stops with them.

I have said it before. The democratic party is nothing but a loose collection of victim groups. For many of them, the only thing they have in common is that they believe they are victims of something.

Do you have some examples of this? Or is this another "because you say so?"

At least you got this much correct.

What, do you really think the social order, traditions, institutions, culture exist only in the government?

And drop the stupid insults, it makes you look stupid.

iustitia, the majority of history's greatest classical progressives of the late 1800s and early 1900s, who did the most to fight for the rights and well being of American workers, were either Republican or third party. Very few were Democrats and the reformers faced sone of their greatest opposition from Democrats.

So I agree with what you've said.

I can agree with this, and yet, the American population still believe s that voting for the GOP or the DNC is actually going to change something for the better

I will take that bet. I see that they have a chance in the Presidential, but they will not take the Senate, or the House, and will lose one more GOV seat.

Republicants will stay home in droves when Trump is their only choice.
The writing is on the wall .
This was not a bet. It is a certainty.

They might take the presidency and pick up a couple seats in the Senate. Might. But sweep?

No chance.

Actually I would have said yes to this last week, But with the Supreme Court Justice on the line, even the most conservative will vote for Trump. Add this to the fact that 20% of Democrats like Trump and he is a tuff win, Especially if your candidate is fighting felony charges in court during the election

The death of Scalia Changed Everything. Trump will likely Pick Rubio or Cruz for his running mate? That will help with the Legal Hispanic vote. under these conditions he is a tuff out for the Democrats. Not that it can't be done, It is just a lot tougher with the direction of the court on the line

Actually the GOP needed to be destroyed? It had lost it's way and was lying to it's base. Much like the Democrats lie to the minority communities.
