I want the Black Lives Matter movement to know explicitly that the Democratic Party agenda supports their agenda.
I want the #MeToo movement to know explicitly that the Democratic Party agenda supports them.
I want the Dreamers to know the Democratic Party has their back and we will make their dreams come true.
I Want #NeverAgain to be more than a Hashtag, and I want The Parkland survivors, the Sandy Hook survivors, the Columbine survivors, and all shooting survivors, and all who want to reduce gun violence to know that their political home is the Democratic party.
I want the Reagan Democrats to come home. I want to get the white working class voters who voted for Trump because of both siderism to understand that the American Dream has largely escaped them because the government abandoned them UNDER REAGAN- Look at the income distribution chart over the past 40 years, Ed Schulz’s famous “Vulture Chart.”
The Republican Party has been selling out their working class voters to their owner class donors. I want to make that argument, and I want to do so without making all the other demographics I’ve already mentioned feel like I’ve just moved them to the back burner. As the Declaration says, “All men are created equal,” All women too.
If you voted for Trump because of terrorism, I don’t want your vote. Muslims are NOT going to kill us all, and you aren’t ready to hear that. Mexicans aren’t rapists and drug dealers, and the “illegals” you want out of this country are not a drag on the economy. Nor are they coming here to collect Welfare and Social Security. I don’t want your vote if you disagree.
If you wave the confederate flag, you are not a patriot- that flag isn’t merely racist, it is treasonous. Robert E Lee, Stonewall Jackson, and Jefferson Davis are traitors. The south seceded over slavery- NOT because Lincoln had ended it, but because they were afraid he MIGHT.
This betrays an understanding of the Constitution of the United States. So take that pocket copy you carry around and READ IT. You won’t learn anything by sitting on it hoping to absorb the wisdom through osmosis into your ass.
If the phrase “real American” means you really do value the Constitution as opposed to just meaning “White,” vote Democrat. If you really want to grow the economy, don’t fall for the con man who tries to sell you a “pro-growth agenda” (hint- he means “tax cuts”), vote Democrat. If you want more jobs and better jobs, vote Democrat. If you want to reduce abortions, vote Democrat.
If you wish to take up the Constitutional challenge to “form a more perfect union,” there is only one choice- vote Democrat.
Thanks for listening.
It occurred to me that I have an obligation to demonstrate some understanding of the movement issues that the movements I mentioned are looking to be addressed. Such as: If you believe that someone being black is insufficient for another to “fear for their life” vote Democrat. If you think it is wrong to jail a black student when you suspend a white one, vote Democrat. If you believe we can create a safer work environment for women, vote Democrat. If you think 30,000 gun deaths is too many, vote Democrat.
