They don't appear to have an agenda other than being anti-Trump.  They are on the wrong side of issues related to taxes, spending, national defense, men invading women's spaces, border security, and illegal immigration. 

As I've said numerous times, the only reason the GOP (which sucks) survives is because the Democrat party is so much worse.  They cannot run on policy.  Democrats rely on a combination of having a poorly managed/operating opponent in the GOP and keeping their base angry about something (Trump, alleged racism, illegal immigration, etc.).  Plus they have lost their dang minds.

Fetterman actually said his party leader is just TDS.

They have to get back to classic liberalism, which they were closer to before Trump broke them.

Fetterman is being red-pilled.  He just might quit the party.  Very surprised, because I thought he was a lost cause after his stroke.  Pretty remarkable recovery.

I doubt Democrats can recover.  They are letting the inmates run the asylum.  Just look at the leaders and mouthpieces of their party.  Extremists.

How about discussing policies? What are they going to do to make Americans lives better? Not a select few faggots and weirdos, but all Americans. How are they going to bring down taxes? How are they going to improve infrastructure, homelessness, drug addiction, housing, etc.
Being in CA I get texts from dem candidates asking me to support them, every single time it's been about stopping Trump or getting Trump in some way. It's retarded.

Do you disagree?

I don't get texts from California democrats who are candidates asking me to support them. I get both democratic and republican candidates in Oregon asking me to support them. I also get requests for support of the democratic and republican party.

I have been around too long to believe in all the campaign promises from either republican or democratic candidates. I don't care which party you pick; all candidates tell people what they want to hear. When they are elected, they rarely deliver on all their campaign promises -- so they spend much of their time making excuses including blaming the other party for the lack of follow-through.

Here is a list of proposed democratic policies, some of which I agree with and others that I don't support:

Lowering Taxes and Increasing Income
Family Tax Credits: Expanding the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit and providing tax credits for working parents.
Worker Incentives: Offering tax benefits to businesses that invest in employee training, apprenticeships, and providing a second-earner tax deduction.
Corporate Tax Changes: Proposing to end tax breaks for corporate landlords and large investors to fund housing initiatives.

Improving Housing and Reducing Homelessness
The American Homeownership Act: Aims to curb Wall Street buying single-family homes, reinvesting that revenue into building new, affordable units.
Increasing Supply: Increasing the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit, encouraging Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), and converting commercial properties into residential housing.
Infrastructure Investment: The LIFT America Act invests in broadband, clean energy, and drinking water.

Addressing Drug Addiction and Health
Medicare Negotiation: Continuing to lower prescription drug costs by allowing Medicare to negotiate prices.
Healthcare Access: Promoting "Medicare for Kids" to cover all children under 18 and expanding mental health and addiction services.

Infrastructure Development
Bipartisan Infrastructure Law: Continuing implementation to modernize roads, bridges, and public transit.
Clean Energy: Investing in grid resilience, water infrastructure, and electric vehicle charging networks.

Thank you for noticing. ::) No link(s) seemed necessary. But here you go: Pew Research, YouGov, Senate Democrats, The Week, etc.

That post is just a list democrat policies or campaign talking points, promises made or used by various candidates for office and suggestions from party leadership. Essentially, these are nothing more than sales pitches, which may or may not ever come to fruition should the candidates be elected.

Do these 2024 Republican policies and campaign promises seem familiar?

In 2024 when Republicans were campaigning for office, these were their talking points and campaign promises which were comprised from various sources by the American Presidency Project.

the 2024 Republican policy platform, titled "Make America Great Again!" was officially adopted in July 2024. It is characterized by its succinct, 20-point format and a significant shift toward the "America First" priorities of Donald Trump, often using his signature all-caps rhetorical style.


Core Policy Pillars
Immigration & Border Security: The platform prioritizes "sealing" the southern border, completing the border wall, and launching the "largest deportation program in American history". It also calls for reinstating the "Remain in Mexico" policy and a travel ban for certain countries.
Economy & Inflation: The party vows to "end inflation" by slashing federal spending, cutting "costly and burdensome" regulations, and making the Trump Tax Cuts (TCJA) permanent. A notable new proposal is the elimination of taxes on tips for service workers.
Energy: Republicans aim to make the U.S. the world's "dominant energy producer" by lifting restrictions on oil, natural gas, and nuclear power, while terminating the "socialist Green New Deal".
Trade: The platform shifts toward protectionism, supporting "baseline tariffs" on foreign-made goods and revoking China's Most Favored Nation status to secure strategic independence.


Social & Cultural Issues
Abortion: In a major shift, the platform softens its language, removing calls for a national ban and instead stating that the power to protect "life" has been returned to the states.
Education: Policies include closing the federal Department of Education, supporting "universal school choice," and defunding schools that teach "Critical Race Theory" or "gender ideology".
Gender & Sports: The platform pledges to "end left-wing gender insanity" by keeping men out of women’s sports and banning taxpayer funding for gender-reassignment surgeries.


National Security & Government Reform
Military: Plans include building a "great Iron Dome missile defense shield" over the entire country and "modernizing" the military through cutting-edge technology.
Government Efficiency: Republicans aim to "stop the weaponization of government" by declassifying records and firing "corrupt" employees.
Election Integrity: The platform calls for securing elections through mandatory voter ID, paper ballots, and proof of citizenship.


The American Presidency Project


Jul 8, 2024 — The Republican National Committee's Platform Committee adopted former President Donald Trump's platform.

If Trump continues the way he’s going, running on that may just win them the house and senate.

Those aren't links.

Links to what or whom? Whomever or whichever groups and committees develop party platforms? Perhaps you mean the various campaign speeches (sales pitches) made by the many candidates seeking office? Party platforms are not written in stone rather they are fluid. Adapting to whatever will move the party forward by getting their candidates elected.

"The Democratic Party writes and adopts a new party platform at each Democratic National Convention to detail our shared Democratic values and policy priorities."

Here is a link to information about party platforms as explained by PBS.
