Taking the time for accurate spelling would indicate greater sincerity. I don't know what to make of it.

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.
In short: equality, honor and fairness.
The thugs have no compassion.
They believe that:
Money and power are concentrated in the hands of a few.
Business grows by monopoly aggregation and by stifling competition.
Freedom means no regulation. Nothing more.
Government enforces "the economic order" (a caste system)
Workers and voters are kept from uniting, chiefly by a divide and conquer strategy, i.e culture wars.
Welfare for the rich. The fraud called "Trickle Down" really means "golden showers". (wink, wink)
In short: inequality, arrogance and privilege
or just outrage over imagined/manufactured fears.

and vote Democratic in 2026 and 2028 to save democracy!!!
