I’m seeing ridiculous comments on both sides here. When discussing why one should support democrats vs republicans, there is a legitimate discussion to be had. What should be discussed and debated, is the core ideology, and fundamental principles of each side. Obviously if one supports democrats, he will look at every action taken by republicans to be bad, terrible and cruel. And vice versa. Why dont we actually debate the issues at hand.
Reb E, you say “democrats are for the poor”. As if Republicans aren’t? Please refer to the specific policy that you are talking about. (In DJT economy, the poverty rate in America plummeted)
In general, is it capitalism, or socialism that aligns with torah values? I think the answer is obvious.
In general, I think we all agree on guns, that while 2a should never be restricted, we should implement more thorough background checks. On abortion, I think we all agree that it is terrible. On foreign policy, there is no doubt that Israel preferred (which should be our preference) DJT over biden. Thats because Republicans are far more pro-Israel then are democrats. (Would probably be safe for you guys to sit out on this one). Republicans love america, Leftist universities teach their students to hate it. Democrats support the lunacy of transgenderism, want to normalize it among children. Democrats blame the failure of POC on some sort of systemic racism, which is not only garbage, but is harmful to POC as it distracts from the real issues at hand. Additionally this has led to the insane Cancel Culture we have come to. So…this is why I support the Republican party. Now I would like for you liberals to answer 3 questions.
-What are the cons of supporting Republicans?
-What is it about the Democrat Party that garners your support?
-And does it really outweigh the ridiculous things democrats support(things we agree on, transgenderism. abortion, ect…)
Irrelevant replies would be those that are based on something controversial that a specific Republican said, or something related to “stealing elections” or “being involved in insurrection”…
