Why don’t more people know about the Democratic agenda? Consider how many times people have bitched on here about how the Sunday morning shows only have Republicans on them. Consider there really isn’t a Democratic counterpart to Fox. Consider that, during the election, while I had no trouble hearing about Clinton’s and the Democrats proposals, the only time she got on air time with the media was when she was going after Trump.

Why aren’t they popular? People have been told, without any push back by the media, that Democrats are going to kill people by giving them health care. People have been told that the Democrats requiring streams to be clean is hurting people. People have been told that requiring someone to sell a cake is an affront to God. People have been told that not wanting to be shot is just blacks trying to take over.

And yes, I blame the population. Living in Trump country, I can talk to people who say they like health care, think we need more education spending, think raising taxes on the wealthy would be good, own guns and think there should be more regulations, but voted for Trump and it all boils down to race. These people are not going to be attracted to Democrats until everything hurts them more than seeing a minority get treated equally.

And don’t get me started on the people who are now bitching but didn’t bother to vote.

Oh, I know, there are things Democrats could have done better. Maybe Democrats should have said “You know that’s the ACA, right? You know that Obamacare is the ACA, right?” They really should be building up a national field of people running for office. But there are a multitude of things out of their control.

There are lots of reasons that Democrats are unpopular, and only a little has to do with Democrats. And I’m not going to boot minorities out of the party just to make room for more whites. I’m not going to kick gays out just to make room for more Christians. I’m not going to kick assertive women out just to make room for chauvinists.
