Reply #5: Undermined Kindness, more than founders vision

[oscar111]

Hi,
agree with all, except that i think dems ought to get away from basing arguments on "what this country was founded on".

That anchors us in the past, and some pretty limited thinkers.

We ought to appeal to "trying to end human suffering" aka Kindness.

Who knows if this country was founded on Christianity, or on Capitalism, or whatever? Dozens of founders, hundreds of writings.

But Kindness is clear in its meaning. Also, it is a lot better than some of the "ideals" in the founding documents. When you act to end suffering, you are surely a democrat.
