As much as I shit on you for trying to whitewash the Dems, this is one point I think you're right about.Yes, the Dems used to be the racist party. And they still are. But it is not where the modern known racist organizations make their home anymore.
That could have as much to do with the Dem's iron clad inflexibility on talking points, as anything else.
I'm personally for social handouts, equal pay, universal health care (Or some form of socialized medicine), gun restrictions (Within reason)
I'm also pro-life, against affirmative action, and think our immigration policies have a lot of problems (Not only because "Open door = risks", but because I believe the left isn't looking hard enough at worker rights issues for undocumented immigrants. In too many cases, it seems like we're only important foreign sweat shops to our shores, and nobody seems to care.)
Any single ONE of those points would put me on the outs with the mainstream left.
And seriously, pro life democrat SHOULD be a thing. It shouldn't be some sort of heracy.
The same way the right can support gay rights, woman's rights, etc.. Many DO. We just never hear about it.
