I can remember when Joe Biden and Hillary were considered left-wing democrats. Now they are conservative or middle of the road democrats. There simply is no democrat, with the possible exception of Joe Manchin, who represents anything that I could vote for in terms of issue positions.

What does your hypothetical Blue Dog Democrat look like?

No modern democrat except possibly Joe Manchin.

I've posted my issue positions on most every issue. Someone close to those would get my vote. Not many democrats (or republicans, for that matter) are very close to most of those. I see the choice between democrats and republicans as between socialism/communism on the one hand and theocracy on the other. And I don't care for either.

You can say democrats are not socialists/communists all you want. They are way too damn close for my comfort. Or you can say that republicans aren't theocrats. Trump isn't, but the neocons are way too damn close for my comfort.

Stupid party versus evil party. In the past I have counted on republicans to save me from the socialist/communist democrats. They have pretty much failed.
