What is the U.S. Democratic Party's Worst Sin?

[Mandicoria]

Mainly the Jim Crow Laws, kinda makes me think on how the fuck did the stereotype for the Republicans and Conservatives didn't go to the Democrats instead?

[Serrland]

A lot of these listed are the failures of a Democrat, not the Democrats.

I would say their biggest sin was the party's horrendous failure to avoid the cluster-fuck in Chicago at the '68 DNC. Ended up screwing both parties.

[Revolutopia]

Also, South Vietnam fell after a peace treaty that was made by the Republicans, and during a republican administration

Ford couldn't get the Democratic congress to authorize military action.

On another note. I see votes for the Jim Crow laws, so how come no one's talking about them?

Did the Democrats also control the South Vietnamese government?

As otherwise how is it their fault that another sovereign country could not protect itself?

[Souseiseki]

Not having the balls to be an actual leftist party.

it's not that they don't have the balls

it's that they don't actually want to

[Constaniana]

All of them. We all know that the gay atheist Muslim commie fascist Democrats are the source of all evil in the universe.

[Nua Corda]

Not having the balls to be an actual leftist party.

This, in spades

[Laerod]

Nixon gathered all the pissed off racists and integrated them into the Republican party. Called the Southern Strategy.

[Christian Democrats]

Support for prenaticide.

[Saruhan]

Support for prenaticide.

Not a word

[Revolutopia]

Wasn't the Arab Springs the exact thing that George W. Bush and Dick Cheney were hoping would result out of the Iraq War?

Yea, but their plan involved Americans occupying all of the countries

Ah, so for the Republicans regime change where people overthrow their corrupt governments is only good when American soldiers are dying to forcibly achieve it for those people. Instead, of them doing it for themselves without any cost of American lifes.

Welcome to GOP foreign policy 101.

[Saruhan]

I'm also confused about how you seem to think it was bad to go into Korea, but bad to pull out of Vietnam?

[Dilange]

Abortion has always been legal.

No, it wasn't. That's why Roe v. Wade is such an issue.

Sorry that abortion is a bodily right under the United States Constitution. If you have a problem with that, then please do one of two things:

First, deal with it like a true person.

Second, leave the United States.

[The Romulan Republic]

Probably support for slavery during the 19th. Century.

But most of these criticisms are decades old, not something being done by the current Democratic Party. And I'd like to know why the Democrats get blamed for number 3, number 6, and number 7. The Republicans oppose a lot of funding for helping the poor, I doubt the Republicans are very fond of spending money on education, and President Regan and both President Bushes contributed greatly to our debt.

And anyone who thinks the Republicans don't do enough for Israel is probably not someone who should be taken seriously.

Only had to smash a brick into my skull twice before it started making sense.

[Pavlostani]

All of them. We all know that the gay atheist Muslim commie fascist Democrats are the source of all evil in the universe.

Oh yes,the atheist muslims! They anger me almost as much as the pacifistic warmongers. Not quite as bad as the capitalist communists though.

[Chinamerica]

Throwing LGBT americans under the bus.

That's actually really sad. The LGBT community were so excited to see that they'd finally got support from a President...only for Obama to say a few days after election that he wouldn't be pushing for gay marriage in a second term.

[Vanzef]

Not having the balls to be an actual leftist party.

Gah, beat me to it.

[Khadgar]

Their biggest failure, an utter addiction to compromise even when it destroys what they're after.

[Mavorpen]

Being center/center right.

[Vashtanaraada]

Maintaining the stupid alliance with human-rights-violating Israel, just for oil. muslims/palestinians dead. millions displaced. All funded by the USA's foreign policy and arms selling to Israel.

[Sdaeriji]

Don't lie.

Prove that I'm lying. IMO, President Carter, at the time of the Shah's fall, through inaction, started a chain of dominoes that continues today through to the "Arab Spring"

God, what a fucking stupid post. You might as well blame the dinosaurs for all deciding to die in the Middle East 100 million years ago.

Every day I walk by oil refineries on my way to work.


Oh. No. Wait. We don't have oil. Darn.

Before, not after.

Oil? Do some people really still think that the whole middle east is one big oil soaked desert?
