What does the Democratic Party stand for?

Hmmmm.....

Not sure.

Some are center left.... some are far left... some are (seemingly) about only one or two special interests....

They are not (at least not always) about each other.

So... what are they for?

(Try 'your' best to be honest)



Democracy, by definition, is the opposite of Hegemony.

To this effect the Republicans are Democrats as well.

But no one will vote 'Socialism' ( Because it's often mistaken for 'Totalitarianism' or 'Communism' ).

The Democrats, however, are considered more philanthropic; respecting that not every soul is a reincarnate who can hit the ground running, born to White Privilege or rooted for the carnivores (instead of the herbivores) when they learned about dinosaurs in First Grade.

Socialism is economic totalitarianism. It sets up a system where the only people who may acquire wealth are those selected by the government. As such, it is a tool of totalitarians like Saddam Hussein, Ruhollah Khomeini, Hugo Chavez, Manuel Noriega etc etc. Socialism is accurately associated with totalitarianism.

What is inaccurate is the association of social programs with socialism. The two are not the same thing. It's from a right wing word game for the ignorant that has been used as propaganda. The purpose is to prevent spending on programs for the poor, elderly, sick and less fortunate. The result is the ability of the government or the wealthiest class to alienate and oppress large segments of society. Pulling funding for psychiatric wards during the Reagan era created a massive increase in the homeless population for example.

Socialism
Collusion
Defund Police
Critical Race Theory


I'm sure there's a few more terms that the wingnuts use as dog whistles for the willfully ignorant and the stupid.

How dare they want housing to be affordable to their fellow American citizens!

Communists!

That's great as long as they don't make a deal with the devil to get it, like repealing the Glass Steagall Act
