Healthcare is the only issue where Democrats have shown compassion for Americans.

And yet when neo-Nazis and white supremacists claim to speak for the Right the response is:
"Well... they've got free speech so there's not really anything we can do and if I speak out against them it makes me a Nazi."

Ya know, the exact same argument can be said about the Republicans from 2008-2016. I’m not saying one side is right, wrong or indifferent...I’m just saying...both sides spew the same garbage whenever their party is in power or not in power.
With all due respect, I never heard republicans demanding the right to kill newborns at birth, letting 16 year olds or illegal aliens vote, etc. I agree that neither side is perfect, but one side is definitely way out there compared to the other. One side is based on tradition, the other on constant change. And since they won't change to the right, the just keep moving further and further to the left. Like, waaaay left...
Of course, liberal ideals differ greatly from conservative ideals. What one side believes to be true isn’t the same as the other. That’s not the point I’m making. I’m saying that while Obama was in office, the right was crying foul at every turn. Many “republicans” were leaving in masses for the Tea Party, some to the Libertarian party. One could argue the right was “brainwashed” to hate Obama...or just flat out racist and they couldn’t stand a black man in office. (By the way, that’s an unspoken truth...there is a great deal of racism still in Republican Party but nobody around here wants to admit that).
They went after his birth certificate, they challenged his healthcare plan, they yelled “conspiracy” when American guns were winding up in Mexico. I’m not questioning the validity of any of those claims...but it’s the same non stop accusations and calls for investigations that the left is doing now. I didn’t vote for Obama and I didn’t vote for Trump...which makes it a little easier to see that both sides are doing the same thing.

If democrats would just admit that republican policies are better there would be nothing else to discuss. But it isn't about what is better for democrats. Its about winning and making sure that Trump loses. It has nothing to do with what is best for this nation or its people.
No doubt about that. Healthcare is the only issue where Democrats have shown compassion for Americans.
