We hold MDs, PhDs, and JDs, and are fed up with the direction Dems are taking this nation. Listen and learn or continue to lose.
OK, great! Maybe there's a chance for me to learn something here. So, when you say you are "fed up with the direction the Dems are taking this nation", what do you mean? Please be specific as I honestly don't know what you're referring to.
Locally I have plenty to be fed up with.
Pension reform is desperately needed, yet our state is run by those beholden to public employee unions.
They're passing regulations on air emissions that do nothing yet add huge overhead and maintenance cost to the systems mandate by them.
Our governor is all-but-directly-responsible for the squandering of nearly a billion dollars in money on projects... a basic website for the ACA, the columbia river crossing, etc
Oh, her 1.5bn sales-tax-on-the-poor ballot initiative fails? Well, she'll just end-run that and pass it piecemeal legislatively.
Our 'governor' Claims the trump tax cut did nothing to help Oregon's businesses, while passing a bill that takes it away from small businesses.
Local democrats turn busy, multi lane roads into congested, 5mph rolling parking lots to add bike lanes that are barely used. (because, you know, the congestion still makes them dangerous)
I think that failure to enforce immigration law is wrong, and am really annoyed to hear about the times our local agencies cross the line from "not helping" to "actively obstructing" the federal agents.
And gerrymandering? Oregon is gerrymandered heavily in favor of the democrats.
Nationally,
Public employee unions need a good gutting and should be prohibited from contributing to politics, in so far as corporations are. (At this point, whatever. But if citiczens united is overturned, unions should be treated the same way corporations are.)
The democrats, on a national scale, are not leaders at the moment and there's not a whole lot to be 'fed up with' at the moment, but there's plenty I plan to oppose when they are in charge.
I think that, over time, we are seeing the definition of what it means to be conservative change faster than people's opinions. So I get a little more liberal, but the goalposts for what opinions make someone liberal get even more liberal than that.
Being an American conservative in the 80's meant being opposed to rock and roll, being a conservative in the 50's meant being opposed to desegregation, Hell, being a conservative in the 1920's meant being opposed to the catholic church on social issues.
There is today not a single Republican senator who has ever publicly stated that women should not have the right to vote. The amendment giving women the right to vote in all United States was repeatedly voted down for almost 50 years.
There's that too. Bill Clinton's position that abortion should be "safe, legal, rare" is now met with moral outrage.
