Democrats Only (legal, accuse, Obama, independent)

[petch751]

Democrats only.

People see Democrats as Obamabots who will support Obama and Democrats no matter how bad the policy yet you accuse Republicans of being hyper partisan but not you. People deny it but never say what they disagree with. Name something you dislike or disagree with the Democratic party about.

I can't think of any Democratic party policies that I disagree with,

I wonder why you think that all democrats think as one. We don't.

The three biggest things I personally don't like about the current administration is

1) their kowtowing to the same set of soulless one-percenters that the bush administration kowtowed to

2) employing the same patriot act tactics that the bush administration employed

3) the ACA cedes too much power to BigMedecine (including insurance companies), we should have gone for medicare-for-all, which does have a fairly decent track record of standing up to them

These things are very important to me and it has been painful watching not much change in these arenas. Nevertheless, I don't kid myself that I'd like Rs better.

Not all Dems are Obamabots, thankfully. Some have decided it's better to think for themselves instead of being a mindless O-cult member, defending the indefensible and blaming everyone else for this administration's idiocy and failures.

I think both major parties pretty much suck and present us with nothing but party hacks so deeply indebted to their respective party's operatives they havet little original thought as candidates with the result usually being a vote for the perceived lesser evil than for anything positive.

The only ones who see Democrats as Obamabots are hyper-partisan Republicans who believe Republicans can do no wrong and Democrats can do no right. There are a bunch of thing that I dislike about Obama and Democrats but right it is much less than what I dislike about Republicans.

Obamabot is a term used to describe people who think everything Obama does is the right thing to do, every policy is good, never able to see any wrong. No one is as perfect as these people seem to think he is.

If this is not true then tell us something Obama has done or is doing, a policy that you don't agree with.

[petch751]

You may be an Obamabot if you can't think of anything Obama has done or is doing that you don't agree with.

Lets get some things straight.


If you pay party dues, or call yourself a member of a party, then you have already stated that you agree with at least a majority of the party platform. There is nothing wrong with that whether you are a Democrat or Republican.

The problem, specifically on this forum, is when you have "independents", who claim to not be part of a party and yet toe the party line.

As for hyper partisanship, there are plenty of Democrats who are just as hyper partisan as Republican. Again, that isnt a problem. Its when you are so blinded by party loyalty that you cant even admit when your party has been wrong on an issue, or when you down right just attack someone simply because they have the opposing letter beside their name.

So in short, your thread is based on a false Premise. If you were Attempting to create a Democratic alternative to "Republicans Only", then all you needed to do was post the same thing Replacing the word Republican with Democratic, not add in all the Obamabot stuff.

now I will answer the question, you put at the end of those 2 paragraphs.


My party does not articulate our view on abortion clearly enough. We as Democrats believe it should be legal, but a last resort. We should spend more time talking about adoption and prevention.

But will the Obamabots also be Hillarybots?
