Let's have a brief discussion about the difference between Democrats and Republicans...
The Republican ex-president, DJT served for 4 years, and almost every month of that 4 years, he promised he would release his "Infrastructure bill" with-in 2 weeks.
2 weeks came and went. No infrastructure bill. When asked about it...the answer was always "2 weeks".
In four years he NEVER released his infrastructure bill
Fast forward...To June 11, 2023.
On that date a tragic accident caused one of the most heavily traveled interstates in the country to be closed down.
Within hours the Democratic US Sec of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg was on the scene with the officials of the state and city.
With the promise Pete made to the Democratic Governor of Pennsylvania, and the Democratic Mayor of Philadelphia, and the hard work of hundreds of people, that road (one of the most heavily traveled on the east coast) re-opened TODAY, June 23, 2023.
12 days people...2 days less than TRUMPS PROMISED INFRASTRUCTURE BILL.
THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE.

Enjoy. Share. Take credit for it! 
Because Democrats have compassion for others.

• When every person
a. is guaranteed rights, opportunity, and equity,
b. can make a good living,
c. is respected,
then all benefit and the nation benefits.
• Government invests in its citizens.
• Labor and innovation create wealth.
• Productivity gains are shared with those who are less blessed than others.
• Government is by the people and for the people.
• The legal system protects rights, especially of minorities.
In short: equality, honor and fairness.
The thugs have no compassion.
• Money and power are concentrated in the hands of a few.
• Business grows by monopoly aggregation and by stifling competition.
• Freedom means no regulation. Nothing more.
• Government enforces "the economic order" (a caste system)
• Workers and voters are kept from uniting, chiefly by a divide and conquer strategy, i.e culture wars.
• Welfare for the rich. The fraud called "Trickle Down" really means "golden showers". (wink, wink)
In short: inequality, arrogance and privilege
or just outrage over imagined/manufactured fears.
And lately, it's clearer than ever:
Government dictates what you read, your personal life, your religion and color (or the lack thereof).
