    Can anyone make a substantive argument as to why one should vote for democrats this November?

    How has your life personally been adversely effected with the republicans in power? (taxes, healthcare, employment, etc)

    No emotional arguments please (i.e. so and so is a racist, rapist, womanizer, liar, etc, etc) policy arguments only that has effected your world.

    I personally see no reason to turn things over to the Democrats. My federal taxes are lower, good paying jobs are available in my area (7.1 million across the country), Foreign Countries are following the Leader (USA) once again, ISIS Caliphate has been crushed, North Korea has been stifled, human trafficking at the border has been curtailed and more good to come if the Republicans get the wall built, Veterans have been upgraded, Trade is being balanced, China is being put in their place, Constitutional Justices are being appointed, influential black people are stepping up against all the falsehoods being portrayed about them, woman are being appointed to high offices, just to mention a few.

    Blessings!

    Because, if the movies are right, we will be visited with various plagues just before the end comes. As Christians we long for Christ's return and I can think of few more horrible plagues than a ruling majority of Democrats.

    This should be interesting since I hate Trump is not an acceptable argument.
    At least, it should be if you have any takers.

    Excellent question: So here are ten accomplishments of Obama - How many of the ten do you agree?

    I agree that seven of the ten are true accomplishments, with the largest being the Affordable Care Act. Not saying that I agree with them, but they were accomplishments.

    Are you asking if I agree they are accomplishments or if I agree they are good for me and country?

    In no particular order:

    1. Same sex marriage - Bad
    2. TPP - Agree with Trump's reasons why it is Bad
    3. Iran deal - Bad and Stupid
    4. Cuba - Nothing has changed, Cuban government is still evil
    5. Climate change - No legislation or world agreements can stop climate change, this is God's work
    6. Health Ins - All experts declare the ACA is neither affordable nor can sustain itself, it is a ruse
    7. Economy - One can see what happened when Obama left and Trump stepped in
    8. Terrorism - O did his part I guess
    9. Budget and Education - Budget is always bogus by both parties, Education I'm not aware of what was improved upon.
    10. The American people voted and said, no more Democrat (Hillary), we want Trump!

    Only answer I can think of is pure stupidity or pure un-Godliness.

    Good corrections. Granted it was for 2015 list, but Obama's list misses many of the most important ways he sought to destroy American society...

    1. Same sex marriage - legalized it, and established funded transgenderism in the military.
    8. Terrorism--gave us the Ferguson riot, unleashed Arab "Spring", legitimized BLM and Antifa.
    10. The American people--Set us back decades in racial relations, made great strides toward changing us into an unAmerican third-world country

    Basically, the only valiud reason would be that you love abortion, love gay weddings, love lnocking traditioanl christian values! And that you think America is the land of the slave owners and native American killers, so nothing good ever came from her!

    Do you think even though this thread has 170 views and zero responses arguing pro democrat this November, that there will be Christians here that still vote Democrat this year?

    OP, don't know - their platform is Dream Act, repealing tax cuts, and impeaching Trump and Brett Kavanaugh They could have done so much better - student debt forgiveness, federal minimum wage hikes, infrastructure spending all would have had broader appeal.

    Oh, I know all about RINO Bob, but he's not going to be able to take out that sleaze, the other Bob, Menendez, don't care what the polls say.

    Shows you are in a D state, the fact that you have a liberal v. liberal showdown. Here, about an hour south of me, they have some liberal R named Knute going after moon bat Kate to unseat her. An appeal to Portlandia, but why vote for him when you have the real deal?

    On a local level, yes. Example, I'm voting Democrat for our district magistrate and county judge, both excellent candidates and good people.

    On the current national level, no. National Democratic party is now ungodly socialist/communist/Marxist in it's root ideology.
