The woman in California Leigh McGowen, who calls herself politics girl with the kind of messaging a lot of Democrats might love to hear from the party chair, Speaker, Majority Leader perhaps the President himself.
Partisan gerrymandering allows politicians to pick their voters rather than voters to pick their candidate. It’s drawing the lines so you can’t lose and the Republicans are in a prime position to win back the House in 2022 by just making impossible for Democrats to win.
Part of ‘The Importance of Voter Rights’ series. Part 3.
Knowing the Republicans can win back the house without actually winning more voters, what do we do? Hard Work & Passing Voter Protections. Including the For the People Act if we can get it.
They want the government in every part of our lives.
Lots of people think the Democrats are the big spenders. Turns out that might not be entirely true. In fact, over any length of comparison period (say, 25 years more), by pretty much any economic measure (job growth, debt, deficit), Democrats have outperformed Republicans for a century.
So, why do the Dems keep getting saddled with the big spender nametag?
_______
ARGUMENT #2: The Democrats want to get or give everything away for free.
They are in your pocket and live from cradle to Grave.
The image of the Welfare Queen living off the Government Dole is embedded into many Republican tropes but who is the biggest Welfare Queens in America if you look at the numbers? Dem or GOP the money is going to be spent. You have to ask yourself what do YOU think it should be spent ON?
This just has no basis in reality but where did the idea stem from and who benefits if people believe one party is law and order and the other is the party of the anarchists?
Can you respect the police and still ask more from them?
_______
ARGUMENT #4: Democrats want to release all prisoners and abolish jails.
Democrats definitely have far different ideas on immigration than Republicans but, open borders certainly aren’t one of them. We have a wonderful country but Democrats believe it’s important to also be a benevolent country. You can’t keep saying America is the best country on earth but giving the middle finger to anyone who wants to come here.
I’m not even sure where this one came from but, it seems to be a concern so, let’s address it.
What is freedom of religion?
What is the separation of church and state?
Do other faiths count or is it just Christianity?
Is is freedom if one religion gets to impose it’s laws on others? How would you feel if that religion wasn’t Christianity. If you had to conform to Muslim law or Buddhist law?
There is a big difference between having well funded, useful government social programs and being socialist. The idea of socialism is a boogyman the Republicans have been using for almost a century to scare voters away from social programs - including social security, medicare and unemployment insurance. Real socialism, where the government is authoritarian and runs the private economy is light years away from the responsible capitalism suggested by current Democrats or even the democratic socialism that Bernie Sanders and members of the “squad” favor.
_______
ARGUMENT #10: Democrats want to get rid of your Cars, Planes & Burgers
This idea is part of the current talking points of modern day Republicans to scare voters into thinking Democrats are nuts. The ideas come from cherry picking line items from the original ‘Green New Deal’ proposed in 2019. What needs to be noted is that particular bill wasn’t written to create legislation but, conversation. To point us in the direction the party believed we should be going if we wanted to really address climate change and economic inequality in America.
Democrats aren’t Anti-Military they’re just not Pro-War. I’d argue that Democrats are deeply patriotic but, it’s our love for the county that makes us question who we are and if we can be better. Self-improvement is one of the biggest indicators of self-love. You can’t improve without coming to terms with the fact that you need improvement. As Maya Angelou said, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.”

POLITICS GIRL - Election 2020 Series: The Argument Against Democrats
_______
ARGUMENT #1: Democrats spend too much money
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bQhsTwtSauE
They want the government in every part of our lives.
Lots of people think the Democrats are the big spenders. Turns out that might not be entirely true. In fact, over any length of comparison period (say, 25 years more), by pretty much any economic measure (job growth, debt, deficit), Democrats have outperformed Republicans for a century.
So, why do the Dems keep getting saddled with the big spender nametag?
_______
ARGUMENT #2: The Democrats want to get or give everything away for free.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=biF2V78pUAs
They are in your pocket and live from cradle to Grave.
The image of the Welfare Queen living off the Government Dole is embedded into many Republican tropes but who is the biggest Welfare Queens in America if you look at the numbers? Dem or GOP the money is going to be spent. You have to ask yourself what do YOU think it should be spent ON?
_______
ARGUMENT #3: Democrats want to defund the police.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NoKlF2gKNEE
They hate the police and want them abolished.
This just has no basis in reality but where did the idea stem from and who benefits if people believe one party is law and order and the other is the party of the anarchists?
Can you respect the police and still ask more from them?
_______
ARGUMENT #4: Democrats want to release all prisoners and abolish jails.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EVTk43sBdtQ
Again, no basis in actual reality. How much sense would that make?
But, should prisons be reformed? Do people profit from prisons? If so, who? And who do they support and why?
_______
ARGUMENT #5: Democrats want open borders.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VnFQOMS_RZ4
Democrats definitely have far different ideas on immigration than Republicans but, open borders certainly aren’t one of them. We have a wonderful country but Democrats believe it’s important to also be a benevolent country. You can’t keep saying America is the best country on earth but giving the middle finger to anyone who wants to come here.
_______
ARGUMENT #6: Democrats want to take your guns.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SbSfvzSq-fk
Nope. Well, for the most part…nope. But should we have stricter laws? Maybe.
Can we have guns and a safe society? Democrats think so.
_______
ARGUMENT #7: Democrats are anti-Christian.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hbnD1qvoMQ4
I’m not even sure where this one came from but, it seems to be a concern so, let’s address it.
What is freedom of religion?
What is the separation of church and state?
Do other faiths count or is it just Christianity?
Is is freedom if one religion gets to impose it’s laws on others? How would you feel if that religion wasn’t Christianity. If you had to conform to Muslim law or Buddhist law?
_______
ARGUMENT #8: Democrats are pro-abortion.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pZG9Nm3SQs8
Democrats are pro-choice not pro-abortion. What’s the difference? Shouldn’t wanting to protect the unborn be without question?
How can anyone argue against that?
_______
ARGUMENT #9: Democrats are Socialists
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8U8CcJ5TGTg&pp=QAFIAQ%3D%3D
There is a big difference between having well funded, useful government social programs and being socialist. The idea of socialism is a boogyman the Republicans have been using for almost a century to scare voters away from social programs - including social security, medicare and unemployment insurance. Real socialism, where the government is authoritarian and runs the private economy is light years away from the responsible capitalism suggested by current Democrats or even the democratic socialism that Bernie Sanders and members of the “squad” favor.
_______
ARGUMENT #10: Democrats want to get rid of your Cars, Planes & Burgers
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CoyjlwLRFks
This idea is part of the current talking points of modern day Republicans to scare voters into thinking Democrats are nuts. The ideas come from cherry picking line items from the original ‘Green New Deal’ proposed in 2019. What needs to be noted is that particular bill wasn’t written to create legislation but, conversation. To point us in the direction the party believed we should be going if we wanted to really address climate change and economic inequality in America.

ARGUMENT #11: Democrats are Unpatriotic & Anti-Military
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_bWWV2Y9nCo
Democrats aren’t Anti-Military they’re just not Pro-War. I’d argue that Democrats are deeply patriotic but, it’s our love for the county that makes us question who we are and if we can be better. Self-improvement is one of the biggest indicators of self-love. You can’t improve without coming to terms with the fact that you need improvement. As Maya Angelou said, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.”
