Why we vote for Democrats: a focusing group meditation? [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

This is a participatory diary. I am hoping to help people remember the things we care about that drive us to support Democrats. I can’t remember everything all the time. I’ll get it started, but I don’t want to go on and on. Please chime in. Let’s be positive. It could be fun!

My formative reasons for being a supporter of the Democratic Party were primarily economic. I am in favor of things like taxing the rich, a living wage, not privatizing services like hospitals and schools, labor unions, etc.

Currently, I am extremely concerned about the planet—which Republicans want to destroy if we don’t stop them. Of course, I’m also concerned about our democracy—which will end if Trump gets another term—along with all of the protections the rule of law provides for everyone.

In the poll, I ask people to pick one reason. It’s hard. And I am sure I forgot some major categories. Please remind me! My first pick at the moment has to be “saving democracy” because we can’t do any of the other things without that.

Your turn!

*edit* I am glad a couple people answered my poll! I was hoping you would comment, too, about what matters to you.
