When I read the August 26 LTE by Richard Parker from Stevensville, I just could not let it go without responding. Where on this green earth are you getting your information about what Democrats believe? Almost everything you said was outright false. Yes, there is as diverse of views among Democrats as there is among Republicans. But I know a lot of Democrats and I don’t know one who is a communist, one who doesn’t’ think we should have immigration reform, one who is a militant, one who is antisemitic, one who thinks defunding the police is a good idea, one who even knows anything about ANTIFA, anyone who supports “super high” taxes (whatever that means), or someone who doesn’t think we should enforce our election laws.
If you would bother to get to know your Democratic neighbor and have a conversation about what kind of nation we want and how to govern, you would soon conclude that someone is feeding you a pack of lies. Why? I can only conclude the reason is to scare you so they can take advantage of you. Democrats believe in equal opportunity for all Americans; that includes economic justice, environmental justice, and treating your neighbors as you would have them treat you. What is so scary and alarming about that?
