The way I see it, one party stands for core American values and beliefs and centers more on national issues while the other mainly stands for itself, whatever it presumes to be the most popular among its groups and whatever it determines is most needed for it to win or survive at a particular time.

And those core American Values are what, exactly?

I think the Left Wing media pulled off a major stunt by taking advantage of whatever trust was left in the Democratic at a vulnerable time in American history like it did leading up to Obama's election and a lot of them are going end up dead and broke because of it this time around myself.

Again, platitudes are not reasons. Putting a little meat on these bare bones is what I'm asking.

Dude, I'm one of millions of customers or one of millions of hardcore Americans who could start knocking down Verizon towers or start terminating contracts pertaining to land use and destabilize and bankrupt them tomorrow. It would only take the assassination of one rich and powerful oligarch who is broadly viewed as being above the law and the  destruction of a major corporation or two broadly viewed as being the same  by America to prompt a massive withdrawal and tank NASDAQ again.

I'm no fan of the Uber-class either, but why back Trump: a certified member of that group himself. There is no greater suck-up to the rich and powerful than a person like Trump who desperately wants wants into their inner circle.

Classic-Xer Wrote:I see the extension of American growth and opportunity and freedom with the Trump party. I see a controlled system based on preference, the elimination of the three mentioned and a prolonging of the death with Biden's/Cheney's party. The Trump party represents American progress and what America has been about throughout the ages since its conception. The Democrats are the clingers like the Democrats have always been throughout the history of the party.

What progress? We're nowhere right now.
