Very few people are going to volunteer to make it tougher on themselves just to help out strangers or benefit people they aren't even directly associated with.
How do you know that?...or are you just talking about yourself.

There is no need to state the obvious. I remember when the Democrats were a decent party, they had good political candidates and were not out to take away the rights of the citizens.

Correct. However there are still three women in the Democratic race. Compare that to the Repub field in 16 and how did it compare. As I remember there was one black man and one woman, Carly Fiorina, running. Trump made fun ridiculed Fiorina's physical appearance. The rest were all white guys, many of whom were rich. So where does that get us do you suppose.

I could not agree more. I used to be a liberal Democrat. I also voted for Obama. Everything changed for me after that unfortunately. I voted for Trump this past election, and will be voting for him again. I don’t align with him on everything, but he has done a tremendous job accomplishing very important things (for me, I personally appreciate his efforts in VA reform, criminal justice reform, prison reform, and growing and strengthening the economy, etc).
Unfortunately, I have been appalled and embarrassed by the Democratic Party for several years now.

The Dems on stage tonight will be only white, rich people.
For a party that proudly boasts being advocates for and practitioners of: diversity, minorities, uniqueness, etc...not a single one accurately represents the qualities the Democratic party prides themselves as being and supporting.
The Democratic party is a Hypocritical and Fraudulent Party.
The party is a fraud but not for the reason you mention.
define 'accurately represent'
skin color / sex; maybe not..
ability tom advocate ALL constituents; Of course
The idea that a white man cannot be their representative is stupid. The most qualified should win period - regardless of their physical characteristics. Quite frankly it is racist to think otherwise.
Does a caucasian accurately represent minorities and diversity?
Again, the Democratic Party is a Hypocritical and Fraudulent Party.

The leaders who compose the Democratic party are frauds and corrupt thieves. It's been that way for decades now. Many Republicans are too, but at least they CARE about American citizens...and those nearing birth.

I can argue with it. Democrats map districts according to race then backs someone who keeps them pinned down in those districts. Just having more black reps in Congress doesn't mean anything. If it did those districts would improve. They never do.
