Democrats are not going to heal the country. Republicans are not going to heal the country.
Not only are both parties polarized against each other...they are polarized within themselves.
Is it time for new political parties to emerge as splits from the main parties?
Republicans make poor bedfellows. I'm tired of my own party asking me to share my space under my tent with them. It seems every time we share, they take the whole thing and then we have to fight to get a smaller portion back than we started with.
That isn't progress.
I am voting for the person that I BELIEVE personifies the true ideals of the Democratic Party.
I'm not selling out my vote for less.
Go John!

1. The republicans do not WANT to heal the country.

In fact, what they mean to do is dehumanize the opposition (they have already been somewhat successful at de-Americanizing us). Once they do that, then rounding us up for the concentration camps is much easier.

Liberal is a "dirty word" (which is why we now say Progressive)

the Democrats constantly have to prove that they are "as patriotic" as Repukes because the meme is that we are NOT. We are the "Blame America First" crowd.
