No I'm not here to serve you. Do it yourself.
You are actually asking me to comment on other people's opinions as to what motivates democrats.
Me I want less pain in the country. I want racial equality but more I want racial acceptance. I want jobs for single mothers that will put food on the table and pay the rent. Not either or.
I want to see our kids get an education that will offer opportunities to every sector.
I want the poor to have access to decent healthcare.
That's me. Some policies need revamping and others need enhancement and some just need to go.
Now does that help you? Do all dems live in my place and my space? Probably not. There are three in my household and we all have our ideas. They don't always match.

So the idea is no progress? No change? I live in Virginia. I have friends from west Virginia. One girl joined the military to get out of Appalachia. She went to college on the militaries dime, then worked her way up through the ranks only to be injured by nerve gas in Iraq. Today she lives in pain because after getting her hooked on opiods the VA decided to take all of its veterans off of opioid drugs. She gets Tylenol now. Great huh? But that is the drive to get out of applachia.
There are no opportunities there now. This all has to change.
I understand people don't want to start new careers but I'm betting an office or retail position would be preferable to black lung disease.
Not liking change is not a reason to halt progress.
Or would you rather drive a horse and carriage?

Wow. Me huh?
Yeah, why not? She has not provided any and you seem to have a pulse on her actual thoughts instead of her statements like the rest of the populace. What are her plans?

In the case of WV no one has plans other than telling people to move out of the area.

Hillary won there in 2008 .
She beat Obama there by 24 points in '08. Now she loses to Bernie. My how the tide has changed.
