What we must assume Democrats support

What do Democrats stand for? What they are against is clear, but we never hear what they stand for. That lack of transparency is frustrating. Based on their criticism of efforts of the existing administration, they must be for the following:

Open, unvetted borders, illegal criminals and cartels remaining in U.S., taxpayers paying for services for illegal immigrants, including Social Security and Medicaid, continued fentanyl death, legalized drug use, homelessness as a lifestyle choice, unfair trade practices costing the U.S. billions, offshoring jobs, ending manufacturing, men in women’s sports, destruction of women’s rights, the death of the unborn at any time for any reason, labeling men as products of the “manosphere”, antisemitic and anti-Christian hate speech and violence, destruction of the nuclear family by indoctrination of children against their parents, violence against political rivals (Donald Trump, Elon Musk), control of thoughts and ideas through government-sponsored media, racism in the form of DEI, forever war between Ukraine and Russia and elsewhere, foreign policy appeasement favoring terrorists, support for Hamas as a legitimate political organization, destruction of military effectiveness, waste fraud and abuse in government, defunding police and law enforcement, lawfare through judiciary, burying cause of COVID, stopping medical research to determine safety of vaccines, stopping research to find causes of autism, stopping the effort to end obesity, feeble market economy subsidized by government spending and jobs, destroying the country with deficit spending and unchecked national debt, ending Social Security and Medicare by not addressing sustainability problems, higher taxes for all, ending school choice, support for a system of indoctrination rather than education, division of people by class and race, ending free speech, ending self determination, ending election integrity, destroying the Constitution and maintaining a system of rewards for the political oligarchs and their chosen few at our expense.

Hopefully someday, the elected Democrats and the DNC will actually tell us what they are for so we can evaluate their position in the marketplace of ideas.
