What Positive Ideas are the Democratic Party Offering to Average Working Americans

The Republicans under Trump have given an income tax cut as promised (positive thing). Even though some would say that it benefits the rich I get and extra $200/month to spend I don't see this as bad. The economy is doing well my retirement accounts are finally making money not losing it. Under Obama my insurance premiums more than doubled on the family policy I have and my copays went through the roof example emergency rm visit before Obama $50 after $250 In patient copay $150 before $500 after. The Democrats are hurtful to the average $35k working person. What positive things can they offer?

A living wage, single payer healthcare, education, the abolition of torture, legalization of mariuana, an end to the drug war, an end to wars in general, some of us are prolife, prochoice, or prolife with exceptions. Animal rights, the rights of children to not be beaten by their parents, an end to violence against women, free trade, and more.

I appreciate your answer but the Democrats aren't that far to the left. Some elements of it perhaps, but the party itself is funded by the same medley of powerful nutcases which fund the Republicans. They aren't about to let the Democrats go full philanthropist.

A living wage is not part of what government can control. If the government raises minimum wages then the corporate sector raises the price of all goods so the end result is no benefit to the working class. Single payer healthcare, and education costs more than private, examples of this are in my state, Free Tuition at state colleges my daughter's first year was 12,300 then last year was the free tuition and her college bill was 15,200 I'm not sure how political math works. Our local school district has an annual budget which equates to 32,000 per child how is this more cost effective? Government can't do anything but war better than the private sector. Trump has been doing more for free trade in his 1st year than Obama did in 8 years.

As for the prochoice the GOP has had the presidency, house and senate and didn't legislate against abortion, it's just a talking point. I don't see where political party has anything to do with children being abuse by their parents or animal rights or violence against women. All of these things are currently illegal.

You're pretty brainwashed to forget that while getting back more, you have less subsidized. Good luck if you ever need a doctor, dentist or anything like a good lawyer, everything's getting cut and you think you'll have more in the long run? xD

If I am going to pay taxes to the government, and I do, I have the ever lovin' right to receive a return on my investment. It is corporate welfare that drains the economy.

I have no clue what you're talking about. This in no way at all disproves me.
