What's up with the Democratic party? I constantly see Democrats writing that the problem with America is that the people have given up on democracy and are allowing the Republican party to do whatever it wants. Didn't we have elections where the American people voted for the Republicans? The Democrats seem to ahve this idea that the general public agrees with them in all things. This is despite the fact that polls and elections quite frequently show the opposite. If the Democratic Party wants to win any elections, they need to do some serious maintanence on their platform. The flooring is rotting through. The boards need to be changed, new wood brought in. If the Democratic Party really wants to represent the values of the people of the United States, they should ask those people what their values are, not try to force their own values on the people.
