Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I think you are exagerating the platform quite a bit, or just seeing what you want to.

It says get to a fair tax code where the rich pay their share, and they equate it directly to taxxing them as much as the lower class is taxed. Thats barely "tax the rich" at all.
It never mentions citizens united anywhere in their platform.
It doesnt talk about making voting easier. It rambles on kissing Bidens arse a lot and then talks about restoring voting rights Trump took away.
I give the dems a "c" on climate change. They talk about a few specifics, after talking about energy independence and jobs. And once again, the whole party platform is written to emphasize Bidens weak-ass contributions and paint him as transformative.
Do a search on forests. Where are they promising to work on forests in there?
It doesnt specify food or medical care for all anywhere. Biden was never in favor of medicare for all, and neither is the DNC. They want to slightly expand medicaid by giving states slightly more funding, and offer "'affordable" care to all via Obamacare. Letting people buy in a marketplace is not the same as giving everyone medical care, and your shortening it to that wildly oversells what the platform doc says.
And it doesnt talk about giving everyone food. I dont know where you got that from.
FYI all that account does is make up things to make dems look better
