This is how i feel.
If the dems spend one cent on reparations I will wear a MAGA hat and vote for the egomaniac.

I'll take a level headed independent over any of them.

They're not going to spend a cent on reparations, but the fact that this is part of their campaign strategy when there are so many real issues at hand, is insane. And that they're ignoring the needs of Americans in favor of illegals, is downright sickening.

Either they get someone who has their head screwed on straight as the presidential nominee in 2020 or I'll be sitting this one out or voting against them.

Which candidate's policy is ignoring the needs of Americans?

CA is a good example of they'd rather spend money on Illegal healthcare than the hundred of thousands who need Mental health care and the homeless living on the streets.

They hope one will vote. They know the others won't or can't.

Whats with the absolute pandering for votes they've been doing?
California wants healthcare for Illegals?!?! I work 60 hours/week and can barely afford healthcare. Now they want my tax dollars to pay for an illegal to get it for free! I just had a tooth pulled because a root canal was too expensive but wait... we have to subsidize people who don't even live, work or pay taxes here (legally)???
Complete pandering for the Mexican vote.
News flash. Mexican Americans living and working in California probably feel the same way I do.
New York wants to give illegals drivers licenses! Really? Like some illegal alien is going to sign up at the registry. Never going to happen, just pandering for the Hispanic vote in NY.

Why don't they do what their original base voters want them to do and support the middle class.
We don't want old school socialism but we need social safety nets so one trip to the MD doesn't mean you cannot pay rent that month.

Giving away tax dollars for votes is as bad as the Reps giving tax breaks for votes!!!
Do you think democrats care about you’re vote? They can import 100 illegals for your one vote. That’s the whole point .

Same re: Gen X and leaving Republican party. I've gotten more moderate with age, not more conservative. I feel kinda lost in all this as both parties suck. Independent. Will very likely vote 3rd party since my state goes red.

From an operation perspective we disagree, ideology aside. The Democrats think they’re going to win based on growing Hispanic population growth. That may eventually come to pass, and they’ve certainly given up on the white vote, but it won’t be for white sometime.

For the most part yes with the caveat that they are pretty much on their own to make it. Think spaghetti thrown against the wall. Some will stick, some won't. No assistance for those that can't pull their own weight.

So Republicans can demand purity but Democrats can’t? Where in the hell do you get that from? And let’s be clear: Republicans ABSOLUTELY demand ideological purity. That’s not in question here.

Winning elections is everything to YOU...not me. My personal fortunes don’t rise or fall depending on the occupant of the White House or any other office. I’ll be fine regardless.
The GOP is much more diverse ideologically and we do not have a purity test as the Democrats do. Yes, I’m politics winning is everything, and as Obama said, elections have consequences.

Exactly. And Mexicans who came here legally and have family and friends waiting to join them but are doing it legally, are also mad about this.
