the way of the Democrat. The change is now complete.
It has very much become Democrat philosophy to NOT reveal one’s actual beliefs and intentions–to have voters buy “a cat in a bag.” When voters pay attention to policy, Conservatives win handily. When voters look at personalities and “feels,” Democrats win.
So Democrats great and small absolutely refuse to debate policy. It’s unfortunate, and belies just how weak and indefensible Lefty orthodoxy actually is–because the Lefty response is to run away from any disagreement.
