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.



Is 2yrs out of date.

What do you agree / disagree with ?

what have they to say about Men in women's sport's & spaces ?
And child drugging / mutilation  ?
Informing parents of whats happening with their children in school ?
Teaching / indoctrination of Queer type stuff - Having drag queens in school ?
Illegal immigrants- ? Whats their policy 
Politicain corruption?
Judges givening lenient sentences/ let dangerous criminals out ?

Just a few things that need an answer from the Democrats

I was asked what the Democratic policy issues were and I provided a valid answer.

You, Dos and Chaos taking issue with where I may or may not have plagiarized the Democratic policy issues from while not discussing whether you agree or disagree with them is an obvious tactic of avoidance of the actual subject. This suggests that neither of you have anything of relative value to discuss or you would have done so.

What I posted is a summary of the Democratic policy issues which are based on the 2024 Democratic platform. This platform is updated every four years. For more detail on these policy issues, look it up yourselves. If I can find it, so can you. And, since this is of such importance to you, you can also easily find where I found exactly word for word what I posted.
All this bullshit just because you used ai and can't provide a link? ::)
Liar!!!!Filt!!!!

Just a few things that need an answer from the Democrats

It is not two years "out of date" because the Democratic (and Republican) conventions take place every four years. Both the Democratic and Republican Party adopt platforms during their conventions.

Apparently, you believe only Democrats must provide answers to loaded questions about your personal concerns. "What is good for the goose is good for the gander."

In the event you had not noticed there are events happening worldwide which are of greater concern to most people who are not so narrowly focused as you are.

My answers:

What have they to say about Men in women's sport's & spaces? At this time, nothing because I neither agree nor disagree with this which I see as a minor concern.

And child drugging/mutilation? Until you better define these two questions before I can give you a response. What category of drugs? What do you consider to be mutilation?

Informing parents of what's happening with their children in school? What is happening? Do you mean education and student performance? In my experience teachers are good at keeping parents informed about their children's educational progress. Unfortunately, too many parents seem rather uninterested in this, or they would take the time to attend parent teacher conferences.

Teaching/indoctrination of Queer type stuff - Having drag queens in school? Neither agree nor disagree. At no point as a parent, grandparent, and great-grandparent have I or my family nor during my 30-year employment for a school district witnessed what I think you mean by indoctrination or teaching of "queer type stuff." Also, I have zero experience with drag queens in school. However, whether I would agree or disagree would depend on why they are there.

Illegal immigrants? What's their policy? Given the ambiguity of your question. It is difficult to know what agreeing or disagreeing would mean. I believe when someone breaks the law, they should be afforded due process as defined in the U.S. Costitution, (rule of law). When determined by law to be in the country illegally, they should be deported. What is whose policy?

Politician corruption? I agree that corrupt politicians must dealt with. When it is determined a politician is politically or legally corrupt, they should be relieved of their position. This should apply from the top on down. No politician should be exempt or above the law, including the President.

Judges giving lenient sentences and/or letting dangerous criminals out (of prison)? I disagree. The punishment should fit the crime. Repeat offenders should be given stiffer sentences. The President's ability to pardon people who broke the law should be severely limited as opposed to what we have seen happen recently, wherein people seem to be pardoned on someone's whim. That someone often being the President.

Really & honestly why did you even bother to write that pathetic crap out.

And do stop trying to assume what I do & don't believe- as if you didn't know by now
I have Zero problem telling you or anyone else what I think & believe & I say it in straight
No nonsense talking.

Just look at your squirming non committal answers FFS just stop the political trash
Crap talking - Either answer like a grown man with commitment or don't bother at all.

I've already said I'm more than fed up with the pathetic answers.

You wish to ask me a direct question on what I think / believe I'll give you a no nonsense
Straight answer & you do the same.
Only of course you will not agree to do that.

Just as I said - you’re not man enough & neither
Brave enough to do such an open & straight answering thing.

Carry on with your silly squirming & deflecting - while decent Honourable
Men answer straight to the point.

And just why are you asking for this? Whether I wrote it or not does not change what it says which is the same as the Democratic Party Platform.

It does change it, for all any of us know without a link, this is all your opinion or the opinion of some other weirdo not affiliated with the party. Instead of all this back and forth, you could have just put up the links. ::)

Apparently, you were too lazy to read the links I posted. My post says basically the same thing as you would know if you would have checked.

I could care less what you think of me. But just so you know, the folks who count, which are people who personally know me, think and say that I am an honorable and brave man. Apparently, you are not among these folks and likely never will be.

This is your opinion, which matters not to me. I prefer to be precise.

Concise emphasizes speed and brevity, whereas precise emphasizes accuracy and correctness.

Neither of which has any bearing on honor and manliness.

In regards to the top link...I scanned about 12 pages and saw Trumps name maybe 15-20 times. Proof that dems have no platform except get Trump.
The second link I scanned a couple of the options of where they stand and was disgusted by their supposed platform based on freedoms for all while suppressing every Americans rights.

What kind of idiot falls for their bullshit?  ::)

Precise!! 🤣
That is exactly what you are Not.
Other posters are always complaining that you Deflect, Change goal posts, obfuscate
& non committal  - it appears like you're embarrassed to plainly state your view/ beliefs.

As I've said many times previously ask me a straight direct question & I'll give a straight
& direct answer - Yet you are not able to make such a statement.
That's very strange you can't/ won't what are you hiding or afraid of.

Do you know the difference between precise and concise? Facts are verifiable truths, while views are interpretations, judgments, and beliefs that cannot be proven. I prefer facts over views and opinions especially in cultures such as Getbig.

 I do not seek opinions from people I do not know because those opinions change nothing. Apparently, you prefer opinions.

 Do you believe your above post is an example of you being either concise or precise? If so, in what ways? Isn't it just an opinion -- yours?

You said, "Ask me a straight question and I'll give you a straight and direct answer." -Nice to know. Can I hold you to this?

I don't want or need your judgment and approval for my either my beliefs or my opinions. When and if I ever do, I will be sure to ask you for it.

If I were hiding something it is unlikely you know what it is, so there is nothing for me to fear.

Do you know the difference between them? I doubt it without having to Google it.



Yet another long boring rant.
This is Getbig & weather you want or need my judgement doesn’t remotely matter as you'll
Get it any way.

You have plenty to hide & be fearfull of your inability to be direct in your answers proves that.
