And they're vying against a party that just attacks people they disagree with rather than the actual ideas.

Come to Forward, c'mon, third parties aren't that bad...

Mind elaborating on the highlighted sentence?

Completely anecdotal, but that's my observation of what Democrats do when someone has a legitimate gripe with their point of view - they just dismiss the person and never address the actual argument.

In ten seconds or less, name one policy that's not related primarily to the right's culture wars agenda or tax cuts mainly for the rich, that republicans agree on and promote as a party.

......

......

I rest my case.

"the right's culture wars agenda"

LOL

Sorry, the right's "anti-woke" agenda.

The Right is reactionary, recall.

Which is to say that it fights the culture wars in reaction to the wars having been brought to it.

Just admit you couldn't come up with a policy that republicans agree on and promote as a party either, and stop twisting yourself into pretzels.

It's painful to watch.

Wut?

Those keeds look thrilled about it too

it’s easier for them to get work down there now, so not sure what they’re pouting about

Once again, you take ignorance to Hall of Fame levels

Like I asked earlier, is there a more trite word in use today than "woke"? Listen to how the republican propaganda channel and other "conservatives" talk about the failure of the Silicon Valley Bank last Friday, and what they blame it on. smh

Pro tip, you "fiscally conservative", "small government", "law and order", republicans, you... I'm not sure "woke" is nearly the weapon you apparently think it is. Not that it doesn't beat threatening to end Social Security and Medicare, but don't let that stop you. More please, going into 2024. More...

(1 May 2017) President Donald Trump tells a group of community bankers that he will roll back regulations imposed on their industry after the nation's 2008 financial crisis.

Trump addressed the Independent Community Bankers Association at the White House Monday. The bankers all wore Trump inspired red baseball caps that say, "Make Community Banking Great Again!"
The president said the current law, known as the Dodd-Frank Act, is "out of control" and his administration is working to reform it.

He says his friends who are community bankers "have gone through hell" because of stringent regulations.

The 2010 Dodd-Frank law clamped down on certain banking practices and expanded consumer protections to try to prevent a repeat of the 2008 financial meltdown.

Exactly.

But, when you have no real policy ideas other than grievance, greed, and white Christofascism, what is there left to say?

She's an unlikely supporter of ChRiStOfAsCiSm, but then, you knew that, and...well, you picked the right thread.
