Democrats make clear how little they have to offer

How many watched the Democratic National Convention? Not many, according to the ratings. I saw a lot of the “lowlights” on Fox News. The bar was set low as far as expectations, but the Democrats managed to slither under it anyway.

Speaker after speaker stated that President Donald Trump is evil and the U.S. is a hopelessly racist and terrible country with little hope. They went allin on their message of hate and derision. It’s the typical brainwashing technique. First tear down peoples’ beliefs, then fill their heads with propaganda.

No plan or anything of substance was offered; just pie-in-the-sky promises. Vote for us and we will fix everything. They can’t even fix the violence going on in the cities Democrats control. These miserable people who seem to hate this country want us to put them in power so they can remake it. What will their model be? Cuba? Venezuela?

To be fair, Joe Biden showed that he can read a teleprompter, giving a nice speech about unity (but only if you comply with Democrats). He then came out of his basement long enough to say that he will raise taxes only on the rich. Knowing all the socialist programs these radicals are proposing, does anyone believe that will begin to cover the costs?

I’d rather vote for the party that believes the USA is the greatest country in the world, that its principles are sound and that government should stay out of people’s lives.
