Once the government claims the right to strip anyone of due process, rights cease to be rights and become privileges, granted or revoked at the whim of those in power. That is not a constitutional democracy. That is the scaffolding of fascism.

They take your vote and legislate against you.

Democrats gave me affordable healthcare when I was young and couldn't afford it otherwise. My vote for them directly resulted in me getting affordable healthcare.

If you've ever bothered to look up the Democrat party's voting history, which you clearly haven't, they regularly vote in favor of the middle/lower classes.

NAFTA? Welfare “reform”? Biden’s crime bill? Repealing Glass-Steagle? Iraq invasion? Don’t Ask Don’t Tell? Killing single payer? On and on.

I think you’re just trolling, or you’ve paid zero attention to how democrats actually vote.

And Obamacare is literally a plan from the heritage institute. Yes, P2025 heritage institute.
