I believe that the Democrats are truly the party of the people, to put it bluntly. I think that I still identify as a Democrat despite all odds such as demographics and social views as I have a deep skepticism of corporations, whether rational or irrational as well as a foreign policy outlook much more compatible with the Democratic Party.

Overall, it's pretty much because I'm a total statist!

Given that the GOP:

Guns: Don't even believe in background checks anymore

Environment: Deny global warming and shill for the companies most responsible for air and water pollution

Intervention: Worship the idea of invading anywhere they damn please, and seemingly prefer to regulate everyone else except the local people

Regulation: Needlessly cut social services and lower taxes for the rich arbitrarily

Education: Gut it at every chance they can, especially at the federal level when that's exactly where we need it

Military: Spend needlessly on it

Leadership: McConnell and Boehner are beyond insufferable, and now Tom Cotton's rising...

The Poor in General: Keep being compared to animals and dehumanized


And the only way to effectively minimize such views is to vote Democratic

I don't like this sort of thing. I think that you should be a member of a party because you believe in that party's ideals and platform (generally). I'm definitely not a Democrat because I dislike the GOP.
