Yes.
As someone with an Economics degree, I already disagreed with the Democratic Party & their economic-policy prescriptions, but I gave them credit for, at least, trying to represent the economically-disadvantaged and diagnose causes of their issues.
But now, the party's priorities have gone into something akin to a Social Revolution, trying to alter the very language of the masses to impose a norm dictated by a statistical few. I can respect the L. G. B. T.-people as fellow-citizens with their own concerns (as different as they are from my own), but they're a mere 7.1% of the total U. S. population.

I'm Asian, and we Asians & Asian-Americans make-up only (24,000,998self-identified ÷ 331,449,281total ≈ ) 7.24%.

And yet, do we push for ALL the U. S. (Whites, Blacks, Latinos, First Nations, etc.) to submit to our norms? Our our morals alone the superior, solely-legitimate morals?
Majoritarianism is part of democracy. And the "justifiable" use of violence to enforce supremacy is utterly dangerous & common to 3rd-world nations where civil-wars impose losses on the masses, the labor-force, workplaces, families, and citizenry's well-being. Advanced societies have discovered conversation, debates, and words to be most effective & face-saving (so words & ideas die, not people). To fall back only spells disaster.
But the Republican Party is also issue-ridden at the moment. Both parties have taken the voters for granted. Instead of having multiple parties with set, clear platforms win, lose, and get replaced, the 2 ruling parties keep changing, get hijacked, and become increasingly corrupted.
Hence, I end-up siding more with the Republican Party more, joining in whatever still-sane Democratic initiatives are left (ex. anti-war), and coordinate with the Libertarian Party & Andrew Yang's recently-founded Forward Party, to set eventually set the stage for a better democracy. It's a long-term campaign, and we (Libertarians, as of yet) are getting people elected (in the local & State positions), even re-elected, with every election. But, with patience & persistence, it will grow… especially as ranked-choice voting becomes more widespread across the Union.

I seen a democrat t. v. show host saying we have to scare black. men and Latinos away from the republican party.
wtf you mean scare.
I'm an independent voter. Closer to libertarian.
On not a republican barely conservative.
Republicans offer nothing
Mitch Mconlad said don't promise the voters anything. Just go after the bad points of democrats. Have no solutions.
People are voting democrats because democrats have because rule nazis and soewding gay shit and everything expensive and there's crime.
Plus Joe biden and democrat party spit in the face of my people.
No because the lesser of two evils is still evil. Mao Zedong killed and estimated 20 to 45 million people and many more than Stalin and Hitler. However, that doesn't make Stalin and Hitler look good.
The Democratic Party is pretty bad but worse than the conspiracy kook seditionist GOP? I don’t know about that.

I definitely agree. Republicans are no Saints either but at least Republicans don’t constantly try to infringe on my rights and liberties.
Actually it’s been that way for quite a while. The days of Clintonian politics went out the window during Obama’s second term. Then they shift radically to the left.
Obama was very good smooth talker and managed to hide his radical bullshit exceptionally well. But the mask of what the Democrat party has really become (radical Marxism) started to completely come off when Trump ran for President in 2015. And they keep doubling down and doubling down.
Anyway the democrats are on collision course with disaster for the midterm elections. Also no way hell they will keep the Oval Office in 2024 considering a senile disaster Biden has been.i just watched a group of republicans storm into a democrat run drag queen story hour for kids and call them all pedophiles... it's hard to disagree with you

Agree. I think both parties are sorely lacking but the Democrats have completely lost their minds.
It wasn't always this way. Growing up there were some Democrats that had good ideas, but that time has long passed.The two party system sucks.
Voters have two choices:
A: A pile of horse manure.
B: A pile of Bull Manure.
Which ever you choose, you wind up with a Pile Of Shit!!Trump is god send he doesn’t need to be compared to anyone to be decent. But yes the other republicans yes they’re not that great tbh but at least they have a fucking brain that works maybe half a brain but they’re not delusionally detached from reality. Biden lives in lala land along with the rest of the dems
You mean you don;t like paying $15 a gallon for gas? Or $300 for five items at grocery store?
They are evil people that don;t believe in God. They are traitors that hate the military. They lie , chest , and steal. They encourage riots and crime. They try to control people's lives. Hate the constitution.It’s tough to make McConnell and company look good, but the Biden Administration is about as dysfunctional as Brezhnev’s politburo.
Couldn't disagree more. You seem to be forgetting Donald Trump was the worst president in history.
You also haven't given a specific reason why. Are you blaming Joe Biden and the Dems for inflation and gas prices? Something they didn't cause and have no control over? I hate to break it to you, but if Republicans we're in the White House inflation and gas prices would be exactly the same as they are now.Yes. I used to be an Independent but the democrats have gotten too crazy so I had to pick a side so I am a Republican.
Both parties are crap need a third party to break the crap up and rock the boat
I'm not happy with either party. We need a third party that listens to the people.
Considering that Trump is the Republican part's figurehead, not really. Especially since in 3 hearings we have enough evidence to put him jail for the remainder of his life.
I know some people on this site that were longlife Democrats but voted Republicans recently because how much divisive Democrats have been recently.
I am 72, I have been a Republican since I started voting at 21... I have always thought Democrats were STUPID
No, this is how that party has always looked, people are just starting to notice it more.
agreed, republicans are the lesser of two evils
Yeah I would say so they've gotten pretty extreme
Oh no. Not even close.
Nah
Not at all
i like Romney tho
