What is the definition of a mainstream Democrat? How does the average Democrat voter look and act? What distinguishes the modern "mainstream" Democrat from an independent or a Republican? These are not rhetorical questions. I honestly have no idea.Former Democratic Michigan governor James Blanchard said this: "The Reagan Democrats before that were really Wallace Democrats, to be blunt about it. The national press has never quite explained that, but the county has changed a lot. It's not as conservative Democratic as it used to be. It's much more open now to mainstream Democrats now, but you have to work for it."

The best I can come up with is "confused." They used to stand for something and they used to be Americans. Unfortunately that has all ended. They act like a plague of locusts who are angry that you do not set up growing green food for them.

Today's democrat voters are followers. They are weak, easily deceived, gullible, not ashamed of handouts, and proud of the fact that their leaders want to take from others to give them stuff rather than work to have their own stuff. They hate their country; they hate capitalism, but they don't understand socialism or any other -ism. They believe everything CNN tells them. They believe their party is virtuous because they say they care, and they disregard their policies that say exactly the opposite. They hate people because of what they believe and because people don't agree with them. They're projectionists; they call you angry and mean, when they are angry and mean. They don't understand the history of their country or the world for that matter. When you tell them to leave if America is so bad, they believe they were put here to change America, so they tell you to leave. They justify the evil of their politicians and want you to crucify yours for far less. When you try to tell them the wealthy already pay more taxes than them simply based on the fact that they make a gazillion times more than them, they say they have loopholes that keep them from paying taxes. When you remind them that the tax system is corrupt, they blame the Republicans for that. Trump said something about women in Hollywood, and we should be ashamed for voting for someone who says such things. obama made abortion as easy as buying stamps, but the moral equivalent is what Donald Trump said about couches in Hollywood. But which segment of the population refers to women as hoes and bees on the regular? They can't think rationally; they are racists or race, gender, sex focused, no matter the conversation. They can't present issues in a discussion, just feelings and hatred for PDT. They are confused and steeped in wrong that takes almost a spiritual deliverance for them to get out of. But, don't tell them they're wrong; you get the wrath of hell when you do that.

..at BEST : ...dems today are mindless sheep easily misled by the media
..at WORST : ...dems today are parasites...perverts...baby-killers ... and sanctimoniously delusional idiots.
...needless to say, I do not include any of them in my group of friends...and only associate with them when absolutely necessary ( like when I re-new my driver's license... or order a burger and fries)

Okay, Democrats are all hypocrites and evil personified. And Republicans are pure as the driven snow. You can believe that...and then explain Mitt Romney, even the "new" Lindsey Graham, Ben Sasse, Jeff Flake, Jumpin' Jim Jeffords, Arlen Specter...shall I go on?
You can believe politicians are out there honestly fighting in the public interest, debating and considering issues and proposed solutions, spending public resources wisely based on their well-informed and principled beliefs. Or not.

There is no such thing. The idea that any wacko leftist thinking is "mainstream" is a lie.

They all left. Some were even kicked out of the party. Personally, I don't agree with anything the democrat party believes in...not one thing.

The most disturbing thing about Dems is what seems to be their inability to think rationally or objectively, or, to think at all. They are repeaters. They repeat what they're told. They repeat what their minders' (the silly boobs in the entertainment industries and MSM, same difference) tell them.
Should they begin to think (dangerous, as Goebbels said, because it means the person has begun to doubt), they often walk away.
As for Biden, we do wonder why the Dem leadership is pushing him along in front of them, like a broken down old cart, full of the detritus, the flotsam and jetsam of a crooked and plagiaristic life, rumbling along a cracked and bumpy sidewalk.

A communist coward who won't admit it or is too stupid to understand the consequences of their beliefs, if they have any beliefs. Most Democrats are just looking for a handout from someone else. . You have your lazy commies, your do-gooder busybodies, your haters, your 3rd rate destructors. Their leaders are evil.
