Frankly, nothing; the Democrats run the government better than the GOP in every way.
Most of the time, the Democrats provide services better than the GOP.
Most of the time, the Democrats run fairer elections than the GOP.
Most of the time, the Democrats run a more humane Prison system than the GOP.
Most of the time, the Democrats are fairer to women than the GOP.
Most of the time, the Democrats understand science better than the GOP, and science education.
Most of the time, the Democrats are less hostile to foreign countries than the GOP, which they don't understand.
Most of the time, the Democrats understand workers' issues better than the GOP.
Most of the time, the Democrats are more protective of the environment than the GOP, though sometimes they go overboard. Clean energy, Global Warming, all come under this heading.
The Democrats try harder to balance the budget than the GOP.
The Democrats are more reluctant to initiate wars abroad than the GOP.
Why then even bother about the GOP? Because Big Business is running the country, and the GOP is more friendly to Big Business. Hillary Clinton, though, is friendly towards Big Banks, and this is a problem.
In a not entirely unrelated piece of news, one of our local Little League teams from a rural county quite unexpectedly won their first game in the US Little League playoffs. Then they won their second game. Then they won the third. Then they lost a game, which meant that they had to keep winning all their games from then on. They won one, and then they lost an innings in their most recent game. Lost another innings. Lost another.
Little Leaguers, being teenage kids, once they begin losing, get so demoralized that they continue losing. Adults coaching them also get demoralized, because they just know the kids are demoralized, and so it seems a waste of time to keep pumping them up to keep going.
Are the Democrats emulating Little League behavior?
Generally, the Democrats of the past that are beloved of their constituents have not been the bullies in the Democrat party. There are some bullies who have pushed their way into high offices in the party through ruthless power politics and dirty pool. But these are despised within the Democrat party (though the GOP probably regards them with awe and admiration ). But all around us, in this season so ripe for a change, among the earnest, altruistic new candidates are a few vicious pit bulls. We are in a quandary; should we support the Democrat Doves or the Democrat Hawks?
Winning this next election is important, but Trump has left us huge debt, and what are the Democrats going to do once they win? Raise taxes, and lose the next election? It isn't a foregone conclusion that raising taxes will make them unpopular, but honestly, it will be raising taxes in order to afford the big handouts Trump gave his friends. Unless the taxes target specifically those who got enormous tax breaks in 2017-2018, the money will flow, ironically, from the Middle Class to the Super Rich. Trump effectively borrowed the money for his tax breaks from the future Democrat government.
We should pass legislation that allows anyone with a personal worth of more than a billion a one-time opportunity to emigrate to wherever they please: Jamaica, or Grenada, or Mexico, or wherever. It is better to get rid of them, despite losing the trillions of dollars they take with them, than to let them stay here, spreading their poison, and continually looking for hucksters to run for president for the GOP. And they can take their guns with them; hopefully they won't hurt anyone but themselves.
