46. To say people vote R because they are programmed
is not only insulting to them, but it is a sure presciption to lose their votes forever. It's condecending and unproductive. People vote for the party/person that addresses their needs, period. The Dems have a lock on minorities and special interests like specific unions, but in what way do they appeal to the average white working class non-union voter? It seems they've stopped trying. They want their guns and low taxes. They want their children to attend good schools. They mostly have decent health care coverage, not great, but single payer will probably make it worse. They do not want illegals to have drivers licenses and therefore be able to vote.

The Dem party is not addressing what average people who do not belong to a specific vote rich group care about. If we don't care about them, they will not vote for us. They are not programmed, just more aware then you give them credit for.
