Democrats Versus Republicans

Featured Video Play Icon

 

The late, great civil rights icon John Lewis explains what it means to be a Democrat in the above video.

Democrats believe in Democracy, the right for everyone to Vote, the right of men and women to live a life that is free of want and deprivation, a life in which hard work gets a good wage, in which the right to join a Union is not enjoined, and the right to fall in love and marry the person you choose is your choice not a politician’s, and the timing of having children (or not) is the choice of the couple having them. This is what Democrats have stood for, and what Republicans have fought against.

Democrats Working for the American People

 

When Republicans use their old, tired scare tactic campaign slogan that their going to Fight the “Democrats Socialist Agenda”, what they’re really saying is they want to take away your Affordable Health Care, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, monthly Child Tax Credit payments and other programs which benefit the middle class and the poor.

All Republicans care about is maintaining POWER and giving Tax breaks to the RICH so they can stay in power. They do NOTHING for the Middle Class and the Poor.

Republicans use boogeyman phrases like “Socialist”, “Communists” and “Democrats will take your guns away” to try and SCARE uninformed people into NOT voting for Democrats, who are dedicated to improving lives of the middle class and the poor.

What has a Republican ever done for you and your family?

 




Democrat Representative from Ohio Tim Ryan gives SPEECH OF THE YEAR

 




This speech by Democrat Representative from Ohio, Tim Ryan is a classic example how Democrats fight for Average Joe Americans, while Republicans LIE and fight for the RICH.

 




Ohio Democratic Representative Tim Ryan’s Speech about the Infrastructure Bill. Right-wing media (such as FOX) NEVER shows this to their viewers because they are beholden to the RICH.

 

FOX News is the realization of a plan conceived by disgraced Republican President Richard Nixon and his henchman Roger Ailes, (former president of Fox News), to promote Pro GOP talking points to television networks around the country.

Right-wing media use their platforms to spread lies, propaganda, conspiracy theories and to demonize Democrats, the very people who fights for Average Joe Americans.

 

 

 




 




Republicans accuse Democrats of being fiscally irresponsible. But as the video above shows, it’s Republicans who are responsible for running up the Debt & Deficits due to their excessive Military Spending and Tax Breaks for the Rich.

 

The National Debt exploded under Republicans Ronald Reagan & George H.W. Bush due to excessive military spending and tax breaks for the RICH.

This was all part of the “Two Santa Clauses” plan whereby Republicans run up the debt & cut taxes when a Republican is President so they are viewed as a good “Santa Clause”. Then when a Democrat is President, Republicans scream about the National Debt, refuse to increase the debt ceiling, shut down the government if necessary to stop Democrats from spending any money on social programs which benefit working Americans. Be sure to watch the SHOCKING video below about this.

 

REPUBLICANS increase the National Debt with excessive military spending and tax breaks to the RICH so there’s no money for Social Programs which benefit the middle class & the poor

 

 




The above video explains how for the past 40 years since Ronald Reagan was President, Republicans have been victimizing American using a tactic called the “Two Santa Clauses”,  whereby they run up the debt & cut taxes when a Republican is President so they are viewed as the good “Santa Clause”. Then when a Democrat is President, Republicans scream about the National Debt, refuse to increase the debt ceiling, shut down the government if necessary to stop Democrats from spending any money on social programs which could help working Americans.

In this way, Republicans are literately punishing Americans for voting for Democrats who are dedicated to helping the middle class and the poor while doing everything possible to make sure Democrats can’t help the middle class and the poor, to make them look like the “Bad Santa Clause”.

 

The national debt was increased by a projected 8 Trillion by Trump and Republicans due to military spending and tax breaks for the RICH

 




Inventor Of Trickle Down Economics Says Trump’s Tax Plan Is “Dead on Arrival”

David Stockman, the economist who developed the theory of trickle down economics during the Reagan administration, says that Trump’s tax plan is a giveaway to the wealthy elite and that it will result in an economic downturn. Stockman has admitted that his theory of trickle down economics is implausible, and he regrets the damage that his policy has caused this country.

 

When you vote for Republicans, your voting for tax breaks for the RICH… no minimum wage, having Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and Healthcare eliminated

Former Republican David Jolly unleashes on the ‘rotten to the core’ politicians of the GOP

These are, in today’s Republican party, spineless politicians rotten to the core without virtue, without any level of human integrity, devoid of self respect, self reflection…Without courage and without the moral compass to recognize their own malevolence.’

“There is no greater example of selling your soul to a charlatan than what Republicans are doing right now in the House and the Senate,” he added. “And their legacies are on the line just as much as Donald Trump’s.”

Jolly was a lifelong Republican until he jumped ship in 2018. Before then, he served in Congress from 2014 to 2017 following the death of his boss. He ran for Senate in 2016 but dropped out when Marco Rubio opted to seek a second term.

Today’s Republicans have no principles or policies. The more insane & disruptive GOP politicians behave, the more they are liked & supported by GOP voters.

Why Matt Gaetz Is A Product Of The Modern Republican Party

The reason we are where we are today is because the old school Republicans didn’t stand up to the crazies. They embraced them, however uneasily. And now the crazies are ascendant,” says Mehdi Hasan. “And John Boehner wants to be celebrated for calling them crazy.”

 




While most of us have been disgusted by the actions of Republicans like Lauren Boebert – who insists on doing interviews in front of a wall of guns – the people who put her in office are absolutely loving it. They believe that this shows that she is a strong supporter of the 2nd Amendment, and that resonates all-too-well with the people who will continue to vote for her in the future.

 




Republicans Will Keep Getting Crazier Until They Face Consequences

An opinion piece in The Washington Post this week expounds upon a point made by John Boehner in his new book, and that is that the Republican Party is just going to continue getting “crazier” until they face some real consequences for their actions. This is absolutely true, but they have arguably already faced some consequences by losing the Presidency and the Senate in last year’s election.

Fact checkers claim Republican Trump told over 30,000 lies & false, misleading statements during his time as President. Likely the biggest liar to hold public office in history.

 




While the majority of Americans were shocked and horrified by Trump inciting a riot causing violence, 5 deaths, insurrection and sedition, GOP Congressmen refused to Impeach & Remove him while 70%+ of Republican voters continue to support him proving how lawless most Republicans are.

 

Republicans must lie to survive: They have no other choice

From Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump, the path to Republican political success is rooted in profound deception

Republicans must lie to survive: They have no other choice

Per the above article; “From Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump, the path to Republican political success is rooted in profound deception.

As the party of the wealthy and big business, how in the world can it convince the working class to vote for its candidates?

The problem is simple. The GOP exists to serve the interests of the wealthy and big business that comprise the richest 1%. No party, however, can ever win an election with only 1% of the vote. So to win elections, the GOP must necessarily reach beyond its own wealthy core and attempt to convince a large segment of working people in the 99% to vote for Republicans.

The masters at the top require the GOP to maintain policies that favor the richest 1% and disfavor the working class. So Republican policies will necessarily be profoundly unpopular to the 99%. Therefore, the GOP could never receive much more than 1% of the vote and thus could never win elections.

Normally, a political party wins elections by offering policies that benefit the voters. These policies attract the voters who then cast their votes for the political party.

But for the Republican Party, this is not an option. A candidate could not possibly campaign on the policies favored by the 1%. Just imagine the stump speech. “Vote for me and I will slash your health care! In fact, I’ll do even better — I’ll fight like mad to completely eliminate your health care!”

“Vote for me and I will get rid of your pensions! This would save corporations a bundle and boost profits to the shareholders! Screw the workers!”

“Vote for me and I promise to ship your jobs overseas under globalization! The exact same labor can be hired in Asia for only pennies! Hurray!” This, of course, is not going to work.

The Republican Party is left with only one option. It cannot possibly be honest about its true intentions and actual policies. The working class would never vote for them. Instead, the only option is to lie. This is a matter of life or death for the party. The survival of the Republican Party itself depends upon lying”.

 

Study: PolitiFact says Republicans lie more

The fact-checking organization PolitiFact has found Republicans to be less trustworthy than Democrats, according to a new study.

 

According to PolitiFact, Republicans Lie Three Times More Often Than Democrats.

The study found Republicans to be less trustworthy than Democrats, based on the number of false claims made during President Obama‘s second term.

The study, by Center for Media and Public Affairs (CMPA) at George Mason University, took into account 100 PolitiFact-checked statements made by Democrats (46 claims) and Republicans (54 claims) in the first four months of Obama’s second term.

“PolitiFact rated 32% of Republican claims as “false” or “pants on fire,” compared to 11% of Democratic claims – a 3 to 1 margin. Conversely, Politifact rated 22% of Democratic claims as “entirely true” compared to 11% of Republican claims – a 2 to 1 margin”.

“A majority of Democratic statements (54%) were rated as mostly or entirely true, compared to only 18% of Republican statements. Conversely, a majority of Republican statements (52%) were rated as mostly or entirely false, compared to only 24% of Democratic statements”.

CMPA President Dr. Robert Lichter stated: “While Republicans see a credibility gap in the Obama administration, PolitiFact rates Republicans as the less credible party.”

The reason Republicans can get away with lying more than Democrats is because Republican constituents has been conditioned to not trust the “Liberal Media”. So they are more likely to not question lies from Republican politicians.

When the news media calls out Republicans lies, average Joe Republican voters feels the “Liberal Media” is picking on the person who’s lying and lets the lies slide.

 

Republicans Are On the Wrong Side of History-and Everything Else!

Republicans are conserving little beyond their own wealth, racism, sexism, and homophobia, while eroding American democracy, health, and the environment.

Per the above article: “Republicans are on the wrong side of history—and everything else—and conservatism is a dead end”.

“So-called conservatives are actually regressives and reactionaries, pushing us down to a worse state of being. Republicans are conserving little beyond their own wealth, racism, sexism, and homophobia, while eroding American democracy, health, and the environment. Progressives, in contrast, have brought us forward to a better world and continue to do so. Progressive ideology and action is what makes America as great, civilized, and advanced as it is, despite its continuing shortcomings, which progressives seek to repair”.

“Progressivism has brought us independence from England, slave abolitionism, racial desegregation, women’s suffrage, minimum wages and maximum hours, Social Security and Medicare, civil rights and civil liberties, clean air and clean water laws, pure food laws, public education, public libraries, public parks, public transportation, public health, public housing, pay equity, net neutrality, consumer, worker, health, and environmental protections, women’s rights, human rights, welfare, food programs, unemployment insurance, birth control and abortion rights, unions, paid vacation and sick leave, separation of church and state, anti-discrimination laws, racial and sexual marriage equality, a reduction in poverty, gun reform and protections, protections against corporate monopolies, medical and recreational marijuana, freedom of expression, the Peace Corps and AmeriCorps, and most of the rest of the public sphere that civilizes and enhances our society. Conservatives have opposed all these and other vital achievements throughout our history”.
