Regardless of political positions, philosophies, preferences, party affiliation, etc., any objective individual must be ready and able to realize and acknowledge that, in many cases, it seems that the biggest political enemy facing the Democrats is them. themselves. ! In many ways, our political elections and campaigns are similar to a war of words, and how the positions and messages involved are expressed. One significant difference between the so-called leaders of the 2 parties is that while Republicans, by and large, come together and focus on what they see as the big picture of maintaining political control. , and most of their main targets, the Democrats, often seem to shoot themselves in the leg with their Fight, and the lack of presentation, a united front, even when needed! This explains how, even though there are supposed to be fewer registered Republicans than registered Democrats, the pendulum often swings toward the so-called right! With that in mind, this article will briefly attempt to consider, examine, review, and discuss 5 examples of this.

1. defund the police: Then some of the more publicized examples and cases of police using unequal approaches and what some believe is based on racism, etc., when the expression, defund the police, was the slogan, this concept, and what some perceive it to mean and represent, scared much of the public, and, what should have been, a rallying cry, became an advantage for the Republicans, in the elections! Wouldn’t it have been more effective to use a slogan like, Support the police but remove the bad apples?

two. Systemic Racism/ Education: When one party uses it as a rallying cry, erasing part of our history, as it relates to race, etc., and it works to their advantage, this should be concerning! In many aspects of American life, we continue to witness a significant degree of systemic racism, but that catchphrase is often divisive when it comes to political messages, etc.

3. Gun Safety: How has the concept of gun safety, common sense, rules, etc. become a political issue? Why would a responsible gun owner object to at least the same level of licensing and registration that we have to own and operate a car? How many more must die before we restrict assault weapons and ensure gun owners are responsible citizens?

Four. Socialist / Socialism: Labels often make little sense in politics, but they are extremely effective tools in messages and slogans. How many people, who constantly refer to any government program they might disagree with as an example of socialism, have any real understanding of what that means and stands for?

5. Environment/Climate: Why would anyone be opposed to protecting our environment and ensuring clean air and water? Why would a person in his right mind disagree with scientists and experts and claim that climate change does not exist? I think it’s about power and influence, and attracting your perceived core fan base, etc!

When Mitch McConnell decided that one of his main focuses would be to appoint conservative judges, he did so to protect and maintain a specific philosophy and approach going forward. Wake up America and especially those who identify with the Democrats, unless/until this party unifies and becomes more pragmatic, it will continue to lose the war of words!
