Does anyone have a clue what the Democratic Party stands for?

For years I hear bashing, accusing innocent people before knowing facts but judging based on color and telling people how to live their life like Democratic voters are stupid and dumb and need to be told how to think.

Maybe democrats need that and if so that's fine with me but aside of wasting other people's money, I have no clue as all that comes out of their mouth.

You need to rewrite that OP as I have no clue what is coming out of your mouth.

They stand for BIG GOVERNMENT that they are in control of.

...because that is the only way they can acquire power in life. They have no other useful skills.

Lol...post #2 is pretty indicative of what's happened to the Democratic party, they don't even know what they stand for.

Bentlebee, I'd blame it on Obama, but really the party was in full drift mode by the time BHO came into power. Democrats only reason to exist lately seems to a reflexive desire to say no to anything Republican or any Republican idea. They threw away their original base in a desire to recreate themselves and are now hostage to whatever interest group will support them.

Obama didn't groom any sucessors and Hillary was a disaster. If Warren runs she'll have the same fate as Hillary, but it will be one ugly election.

Let's face it Democrats, you folks are out of ideas that appeal to most of the country. But you do have one thing going for you, the MSM is the mouthpiece of the Democratic party. But the media has squandered any goodwill with it's lies about Trump, so it's not the power or influence it used to be.

As usual, you have no reason to post this garbage, other than to promote your Trumpism agenda. If ANYONE is being told how to think it is you Trumpees........as soon as something comes out of your cult leaders' mouth, you guys are all over it and parroting it as if it came from the lips of Jesus.

Time for you to start posting things with substance, rather than alt right BS.

My beliefs are economically in line with FDR, and socially, I believe in not judging anybody because they are different, and yes that includes conservatives.

Things I personally believe/don't believe:

Believe in Nationalized Health Care
Believe in subsidized college for academically qualified students
Believe in the right to abortion no questions asked for first two trimesters
Believe in not making fun of or judging people who are Transgender/Transsexual or Homosexual
Believe in freedom FROM religion, as well as freedom of religion
Believe in progressive taxation
Believe in trade unions
Believe in a mandated minimum wage above the poverty line
Don't believe in big campaign donors (goes for both sides of the aisle)
Don't believe that Citizens United was a good ruling by the Supreme Court

I could go on, but this is a good start

Why not just research and read for yourself?

What Democrats don't believe in is that their wish list costs an extreme amount of money. They do believe in taking our money and giving it to others.
