Donald Lattin of Shorewood listed nine items which he says all Democrats support and I must be a Democrat and brain dead. As an independent I think we should have open primaries so I can vote for the best in any party.

Donald makes it sound as if all Democrats have a herd mentality. As Will Rogers once said, “I don’t belong to any organized party, I’m a Democrat.” Just because a Democrat gets some media coverage and a few supporters doesn’t mean millions of others agree. Donald’s list is such an example. But if people continue to believe the lies, fantasies, and conspiracies spouted on the crazy websites and by Trump, they will never know the truth.

1.)  What’s wrong with free health care when we aren’t even in the top twenty healthiest countries? — All of which have national health care cheaper than ours.

2.)  I support free tuition for the first two years of junior college with at least a C average.

3. & 4.) I have yet to meet a Democrat who wants an open border. Or elimination of ICE.

5.)  Sixteen year-old voters — We should keep all people from voting if they don’t know what is true and what is a lie.

6.)  The real green plan doesn’t mention guns but it does cattle. They are a poor usage of scarce resources in an expanding population and climate change.

7.)  Sanctuary cities wouldn’t be needed if we didn’t keep messing up their countries. We started the gang problem by exporting them from Los Angles.

8.)  A very small population wants to defund or eliminate police.

9.)  Removing statues is a fad. Surprise is Senator Lindsay Graham said, “It may be time to realize the past!” He is up for re-election.
