Hey, vroom, could you lay out what the Dems ARE running for this cycle?[/quote]
Does anybody really care? Wait, I mean, all politics is local isn’t it?
I think one of the bigger issues starts with the letter I. Not sure though. Another might be trying to do a better job than Foley and various other recent scandal outbursts. It’s possible they’d consider performing actual oversight of the administration, as should be done, but somehow Washington seems to be incapable of that these days.
I wish I could say they wanted to fund and build the wall and secure the border, but it seems like nobody wants to do that.
To be honest, what individual politicians are running on or for is difficult for me to tell, because I am not able to see local races in any level of detail from here in Canada.
However, like I said before, this isn’t a presidential election, these candidates individually are not running on how they personally will lead the country. They are running on their stances with respect to current events and to the actions taken by the current administration are they not?
There is no single party platform for democrats or republicans in these elections. Many republicans are also “distancing” themselves from the president. However, I do understand your desire to “lump” all of them into some caricature democratic viewpoint.
Then you can attack and kill the caricature, as is common in politics today. Woohoo! What fun!
However, be patient, in a couple years you’ll have one single candidate from each party running for president - each with a complete single set of stances you can play word games with. Phew, back to familiar ground huh?
