"Instead of bashing trump, post what you like about the Democratic Party"

So, came across a meme on FB that read:

Instead of bashing trump, why don’t you post what you love about the Democratic Party? I’ll wait....

My reply:

Doesn’t continually push tax cuts for the rich and corporations

Wants to protect and expand Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid

Wants to end corporate welfare

Wants to engage more in diplomacy instead of war

Wants health coverage for everyone with no pre-existing conditions restrictions

Wants to bolster education

Wants to help provide meals for the disabled, homeless school children, etc

Wants to protect the Constitution from grifters

Wants to rescind Citizens United (money is NOT speech)

Wants voting rights unhindered. And wants equal access to voting equipment in ALL precincts

Wants equal protection for all people regardless of race, sex, beliefs, etc

Wants regulation to be effective to protect consumers

Wants to protect the environment so we have clean and safe water to drink, air to breathe, food to eat

Is against white supremacy and nationalism

Is against mocking the disabled

Is against racial discrimination

Is against bribing/extorting foreign nations

Is against spilling top-level secrets directly to hostile nations like Russia

Is against sexual abuse and domestic abuse

That’s off the top of my head.

“A conservative says, ‘If it hasn’t happened to me, I don’t care.”

"A liberal says, 'This should never happen to anyone, that's why I care'"
