He wants to hang around and vote for Bolsheviki Bernie once again~to hope and Candy Mountain change us into what Venezuela woulda been with socialism modified with good ole' Yankee ingenuity.
Yeah, boy, the Jackass Party can do anything because the subservient RINOs always behave.
Even when RINOs are in power.
Here's a RINO who used to be a school principle~

I think the applicable word is "indoctrinated" rather than educated. Education deals in facts and critical thinking which obviously are severely lacking here...

I think you are giving the vote away too cheaply. The person who thinks rationally and understands the issues, understands the importance of free markets, individual liberty, and constitutional limits on government might be a more informed voter, and might refuse to fight in the military because he understands he is being misled and his life sacrificed by and for looters in DC and NY. I do agree that very few voters have proven that they should have that responsibility, and that universal suffrage for every person able to breathe is a very bad idea for individual liberty.

Too bad no one can actually prove it (bin laden) was done. Therefore, I think they never actually did it, and that Obama never intended it to occur. Obama just wanted credit for doing it. Disgusting ignorant savage.

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then.

I marked this +1 because I found your writing interesting, but I do not mean to imply that I agree with everything you wrote. For example, your understanding of the Apology Tour is seriously different from mine. If you heard what O said, he was clearly denigrating the American people for our thinking we are superior.

"... but this article claims that people will perceive the same ideas as very good or very bad based simply on which politician their associated with. If that's true, how to people chose their politicians? If it's just about the person, why do people claim it's about the policies and not the person?"

Agreed. Politics should be about policies rather than personalities, but this shows that people aren't really critically thinking about anything, preferring instead to rely on talking points from their preferred "news" vendor.

"The three issues in the video go from least to most partisan."

I would argue that the very fact that the students panned them all thinking they were Trump's demonstrates precisely the opposite - that all three were highly partisan issues. The Apology Tour was roundly criticized by Republicans because of the message. The Stimulus Package was also highly criticized (though many RINO's bought into it) because even Obama admitted later that "it wasn't nearly as shovel-ready as it should have been". (This does, however, recognize that GW Bush also passed a similar package during his tenure and it was approved of by many Democrats.) The litigation thing was all about trying to push more social reform through the Court system - a favorite tactic of the hard left because their policies are unpopular when put to referendum - see the 2012 through 2016 elections.

"...partial explanation"

Maybe, but if so, it just demonstrates even further that these students lack critical thinking capabilities. To me, it doesn't exonerate them one bit.

"why didn't the interviewed Democrats say something like..."

BINGO! If they were really concerned about issues rather than people, they would have structured their answers in that manner. They didn't, however, which leads me to conclude (again) that they lack critical thinking skills. On top of that, they aren't making any arguments based on principle, but rather populist opinion.

"I have heard the explanation that..."

If one looks at a political map by county of the United States, the vast majority of counties lean Republican. The counties which lean Democrat center around high population cities. There are many theories about why this may be, but my personal feeling (having worked with many farmers) is that in rural districts you simply can't rely on a welfare net. Those values are incompatible with being a farmer. Farmers don't survive as farmers without strict budgeting, long-term planning, LOTS of hard work, and self-reliance. Those aren't values found in very many Democrats.

Just because you want to classify an apology tour as a discussion of policy changes doesn't make it so.
"Apology Tour is non-partisan. I can see any president telling other countries not to think the same policies will continue "
An American president’s highest moral, constitutional and political duty is protecting his fellow citizens from foreign threats. Presidents should adhere to our values and the Constitution, and not treat America’s enemies as morally equivalent to us.

If they do, they need not apologize to anyone.

His penchant for apologizing is central to his legacy. He may not often say “I apologize” explicitly, but his meaning is always clear, especially since he often bends his knee overseas, where he knows the foreign audiences will get his meaning. It is, in fact, Obama’s subtlety that makes his effort to reduce America’s influence in the world so dangerous.

He started in Cairo in 2009, referring to the “fear and anger” that the 9/11 attacks provoked in Americans, saying that, “in some cases, it led us to act contrary to our traditions and our ideals.” He later said, “Unfortunately, faced with an uncertain threat, our government made a series of hasty decisions . . . based on fear rather than foresight” — a characterization Americans overwhelmingly reject.

In Europe, saved three times by America in the last century, Obama apologized because “there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive.” And in this hemisphere, Obama said, “We have at times been disengaged, and at times we sought to dictate our terms,” culminating in his fawning visits with the Castros in Cuba.
Barack Obama apologized to Cuban president Raul Castro during their phone conversation after the American commander in chief's opening remarks.
The list goes on and on.
and as far as " gov't furthering equality of all people," Ayn Rand "Since the protection of individual rights is the only proper purpose of a government, it is the only proper subject of legislation: all laws must be based on individ­ual rights and aimed at their protection. All laws must be objective (and objectively justifiable): men must know clearly, and in advance of taking an action, what the law forbids them to do (and why) , what constitutes a crime and what penalty they will incur if they commit it.

The source of the government's authority is "the consent of the governed." This means that the government is not the ruler, but the servant or agent of the citizens; it means that the government as such has no rights except the rights delegated to it by the citizens for a specific purpose.

There is only one basic principle to which an individ­ual must consent if he wishes to live in a free, civilized society: the principle of renouncing the use of physical force and delegating to the government his right of physi­cal self-defense, for the purpose of an orderly, objective, legally defined enforcement. Or, to put it another way, he must accept the separation of force and whim (any whim, including his own)."

If "affirmative action" is your parties
furthering of equality, it is a contradiction. These policies are outdated and lead to reverse discrimination which entails favoring one group over another based upon racial preference rather than achievement, .Some policies adopted as affirmative action, such as racial quotas or gender quotas are a form of reverse discrimination. Scholars have also questioned whether quota systems and "targeted goals" are subjective and can't be clearly distinguished from each other.

“I am neither foe nor friend to my brothers, but such as each of them shall deserve of me. And to earn my love, my brothers must do more than to have been born. I do not grant my love without reason, nor to any chance passer-by who may wish to claim it. I honor men with my love. But honor is a thing to be earned.”
Ayn Rand
