Mitch McConnell refuses to release a party platform for the November election.

Is this wise?

It worked well for the Democrats, when they hid Joe Biden in the basement, & he seldom ventured out to communicate the Dems platform.

Telling American voters in advance what they are voting for/against is passe, & is no longer necessary.

Heck, even the House of Representatives don't even get to know what they are voting for/against anymore.

They don't have time to read the bills, so they have to "sign the bill, to find out what's in the bill" as Nancy Pelosi boasted.

Everybody is essentially voting for anything those at the very top want to do, & I can't see anyway to stop them. Should voters stay home and not vote? Learn how to read minds, or buy Crytal balls?

Since it seems to be a winning strategy, I think the Pubs should stick with it. Why divulge anything? So, the media can attack it? So the opposing party can attack it?

In essence, what is being implied is...."if you like what the Democrat party is doing, vote for them, & if not, vote for Republicans, and hope what the Pubs do won't be as bad".

Your thoughts? How am I wrong in this analysis? Do you see any solutions?

The republicans don't need to do anything. All they have to do is say they are not Biden and don't support any of his insanity- that will do it.

Biden is the most hated president in US history and simply not being a democrat will suffice.

The pubs do have a platform ...
1) Democratic socialism will destroy America so we need to stick with the Pubs trickle down strategy since it's working so well for us
2. Critical Race Theory ... fear mongering always works
3. Don't say gay ... if CRT doesn't work then go with this

4) Free bus rides for Immigrants from Texas to the place of their choice
5) Racism is abolished as of 2020 ... we are all equal as declared by Rick Scott


Party out of power always win the mid-terms, the pubs can't possibly mess this up.

#1 is enough for me to run screaming away from democrats in any direction to their right.

Some people actually LIKE keeping the money they worked their asses off for in their own pockets.

I agree. Just keep their mouths shut, & ride the Red wave back into power. I worry that Rick Scott could muddy up the waters with his 11 point plan though.

It's enough to just not be the Democrats this go around. Thing is, if the Dems weren't just so %$D!@#$ crazy with what they are trying to do and instead pushed basic bread and butter issues, they wouldn't be facing pending electoral disaster.

Libs are incompetent at governing....doing the basics well...like educating, policing, picking up the trash, making sure the water is drinkable, ect..

So, they ignore al of that stuff, & engage in mental masterba-"shun" instead. Their goal is to destroy society as we know it, so they can "build back better"...which is really better only for a few elites, & puts the rest of society in chains.

I think the Pubs will stay silent on their platform, until after the elections....maybe until after the 2024 elections. They'll let the Libs implode, while watching from afar.

All of this sick twisted woke sex stuff (like Disney & school boards push) is a massive turn off for 85% of American voters. The Libs are extremely out of touch with what Americans need, and want.

Default Progressive Party not Democratic

What was the Democrat's platform for 2020? I think many are surprised the direction the administration has taken and doubt if they told us their issues would be opening the southern border, adding regulations to gas and oil, defunding the police, etc. Had they told us the truth, Biden wouldn't have been elected. He was supposed to be a moderate and really was a progressive.

At this point many would vote for a sparrow instead of the Progressives party, who are no longer the Democratic Party.

He does not have any train of thought,he is under complete control of AOC,the Muslims and Bernie Sanders.Harris also a disaster.
As seen at I believe G7 meeting he was left alone in a wandering daze while rest were having conversation.
It will be a miricle if we make it thru the next three years.
He handed oil parties a cookie on drilling,Canada said pipeline would have been done giving us 900 barrels of oil.
