REAL popular appeal was owned by Democrats for reasons similar to my post of May 2023. (below)

And that appeal shows in the crowds drawn by Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez all over, and especially in red states. Not to mention recent victories which were thought impossible by the shrimp-cocktail eaters dragging us down.

YES

Watch out for weak stances on AI "Data Concentration Camps"


Why I am a Democrat.
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100217954571

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.
