In reply to the discussion: I could never support a democrat who supports loan sharks over poor, desperate people [View all]Demsrule86
(71,212 posts)The primary is over. Why would anyone here care if she won her election in Florida otherwise? I just want a Dem...and as I have said before all the folks opining about how terrible the payday industry is and how it needs to go ( yes it is terrible) what would you replace it with? You do realize the safety net has giant holes in it which we can't fix unless we get rid of the GOP house? Many use these lenders to keep the lights on or to prevent homelessness...and how many people posting on this thread have maxed out their credit cards paying for daily expenses? You would drive the poor into the arms of criminal loan sharks. We need to offer the poor an alternative...God knows we need to fix the safety net. If we all stick together and vote, we can do this. As for our electoral losses, we had the rise of the tea party and the abandonment of the president by those who could not understand why he could not get it all done in two years...so no I don't blame DWS for our losses...but the voters who did not vote or voted for useless third parties who let it happen.
